Relationship counselling covers all types of relationships not just intimate ones! Your relationship with yourself, your co-workers, children, siblings, friends, your pet or even your nana.

Relationships form the basis of all life & therefore determine how satisfying & meaningful our life is! Based on the connection we have with ourselves & others!

Addictions counselling covers more than alcohol or drug addictions! People can be addicted to all sorts of things some would even consider healthy. Like exercise or cleansing for example. Addictions to me are about not only wanting to get away from something, whether it be a feeling, situation or thinking pattern. But addictions can be a way of coping with confusing or overwhelming things. Addictions can also be an attempt to add unto ourselves to fill an internal emptiness or external void.

This is where my focus on toxic shame comes in. The basis I believe of all dysfunctional areas of our lives. To get away from internal feelings of not being good enough!

My alternative style of counselling is for you if are committed to facing the dark areas of your life you have attempted all so hard to hide or supress. If you have a willingness to explore & integrate the memories, you have tried to ignore for a long time. If you have a curiosity about what it is that is keeping you stuck in repetitive & unsatisfying cycles. If you are willing to take responsibility for how you function & show up in your world.

I Cassandra come to you from a space of balance & inner peace. This is the state I would like for you to attain as well. I imagine you may be feeling some turmoil or confusion & hence looking at this web site for some support or clarity to make it all feel alright.

I myself have come to this space of inner peace & balance through a journey over the last twenty years. I come from a past that was rather dysfunctional to say the least. After twenty years of suppressing my difficult & unwanted “negative” emotions with alcohol & other substances. I no longer need to run away from still & quiet moments, due to an inner peace!

My passion & desire is to support individuals to find their own centre, balance & inner peace.

I liken the healing journey as a walk through a dark tunnel with a tiny speck of light at the end. How fast we traverse through this tunnel is based on our commitment, will & dedication. To look at every crevice in that dark, roughly surfaced tunnel. To clean out the debris & rubble. Put in the bin what is no longer needed & keep the useable pieces, to construct a new foundation. For a bright life out of your darkness. A joyous life of integrated awareness, internal peace & contentment.

The old saying the only way out is through attests to my work & lived truth of my own healing journey. It is oh so worth the effort. Feelings are just feelings & not so scary. They well up, dissipate & are gone. We are never given more than we can handle!

So, if you would like to embark on the rewarding journey of integrative awareness with me, I would love to be your co pilot into a meaningful, peaceful, joy filled life!
