Person Centred Counsellor
My name is Sylvia. I would like to invite you to meet me in person or online to talk about what may be worrying you. Perhaps even holding you back. At times we may feel lonely and isolated as if we don’t belong or fit in anywhere. It seems there is no one who we can share thoughts, ideas or concerns with. There is no one who we feel understands us in the way we need it. Those who we may consider closest are often at times adding to the problem.
I offer you a safe, confidential space. Somewhere you can explore who you are as an individual. And look at the many questions you may ask yourself. My interactive approach is tailored to your need. Through my many years of experience as a counsellor and a practitioner of Qigong. I will help you access your own process which can bring about a deeper understanding of yourself. Discovering your true nature by bringing together and connecting the heart and mind. Being more present to yourself.
We all experience difficult times in our lives. For some it can be a crisis, for others life can feel like an ongoing struggle and lack meaning. I want to help you meet lives challenges with confidence and grow through those challenging times, realising more of yourself and living more authentically, your way.
Health and Well-being
My journey as a student of Hua Gong began almost 30 years ago. After a few years of practice my involvement in personal growth, health and well being became more focused. I began training as a Person Centred Counsellor. Through this practice I recognised experientially the importance of the heart mind and body connection. When these elements are in harmony we experience wholeness. When we are fully connected to ourselves, old patterns, memories and habits stored in the body can disappear. This increases our awareness and presence allowing us to become more of who we truly are.
As a Counsellor I recognise the importance of a safe space to speak about what is troubling you. This freedom to explore helps to gain self- understanding and growth. My personal and main practice is Hua Gong, Qigong. I am a teacher and practitioner of this method. Combining these two approaches, Person Centred Counselling and Qigong. It creates a holistic framework where physical stability and emotional security supports self healing and growth. We are all different. Qigong’s emphasis is on staying present. Being in the Now. In this way we connect to the universal energy known as Qi (pronounced chi) transmission. This may be through physical movements, silent meditation or verbal communication. Through the energy transmission your own Qi is activated allowing your own inner process to unfold. There are many benefits primarily improving ones health and mental clarity. The practice helps to bring about transformations and move through problems. Helping to see and transform both inner and outer challenges with greater understanding and clarity.
