Hello there. I'm Jeanette

I’m a counsellor and coach who works with individuals and couples with a focus on relationships, conflict resolution, and individual growth.  I believe in working with and empowering individuals to develop new coping strategies that will improve and enhance their lives.

​

As a Counsellor, I make use of a variety of different methods, tools and techniques depending on each client and what he or she is facing. I work with clients on a variety of issues including (among others):

• Individuals who are going through a separation, break-up or divorce;

• Individuals who want to work on anxiety coping strategies, building boundaries or coping with work stress;

• Couples who wish to rebuild their emotional connection and trust;

• Couples who wish to work on conflict management and communication;

• Mixed agenda couples (discernment counselling) 

​

I have received professional training in

- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

- Positive Psychology Therapy

- Emotion-focused Couples Therapy

- Discernment Counselling and

- the Gottman Method (couples therapy).

I am a certified trainer for the Gottman 7 Principles of Making Marriage Work workshop as well as a qualified educator for the Gottman Bringing Baby Home workshop. Both of these workshops focus on enhancing friendships, conflict management and creating shared meaning – all three of which are important goals in other life settings as well and not just in romantic relationships. I am also a qualified facilitator for the SYMBIS pre-marital assessment.

As a Coach, my mission is to  be an empathetic, non-judgmental and enthusiastic coach so that I can facilitate clients in self-exploration and motivating them to be the best versions of themselves, enabling them to have better relationships at home and at work.

I work with clients to explore their pasts, patterns and personalities so that they have a better understanding of their values, of their strengths and of areas where they would like to improve.

Drawing upon my experience as a couples counsellor, I will also coach my clients on effective communication, conflict management and building trust and empathy.
