So, who am I?

Hello and welcome! I’m Palesa, a psychotherapist and I also work as a growth facilitator. I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for your growth and self-discovery. As we meet for the first time, I focus on our connection and the trust you’re placing in me.

In our time together, I’ll be taking a moment to observe and get to know you, gathering background and history to better understand your unique experiences, values, and beliefs and how these have shaped you. I’ll also be tuning into your energy, as this is a crucial aspect of our connection. I believe that every individual has inherent worth and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

As a humanistic and person-centered therapist, I prioritize your subjective experience and personal growth. I’ll be working alongside you, rather than dictating a specific approach or agenda. My goal is to empower you to tap into your inner wisdom, explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and discover your own unique solutions.

I’ll be adjusting my approach to best meet your needs, paying close attention to both your verbal and nonverbal communication. I believe in the power of genuine and honest connection, and I’m committed to creating an environment where you feel heard, seen, and understood. I’ll be actively listening, empathizing, and validating your emotions, without judgment.

My approach is rooted in the belief that you are the expert in your own life, and that you have the capacity to grow, change, and develop. I’ll be supporting and guiding you, rather than directing or dictating. I’ll also be acknowledging and respecting your autonomy, allowing you to take the lead in our sessions and explore topics that are most relevant to you. At the same time I am very involved and will use curiosity to challenge you to grow and be aware of taking perspectives and reaching psychological flexibility.

Together, we’ll be exploring your values, beliefs, and goals, and working towards aligning them with your actions and behaviors. I’ll be supporting you in developing a greater sense of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-compassion.

In our sessions, you can expect a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space, where you can feel free to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of criticism or judgment. I’m committed to creating a safe and supportive environment, where you can grow, learn, and develop at your own pace.

Let’s work together to explore your unique journey, and discover new possibilities for growth, healing, and transformation. I’m excited to embark on this journey with you, and support you in unlocking your full potential.
