"I love the process of counselling because I have seen so many miracles from methods such as NLP, Time Line Therapy, Gestalt and CBT. So often clients come to me after years of seeking psychotherapy and they say, 'I wish I had have found you earlier.'
After years of doing the psychologist rounds, people find me. I feel intuitively that people find the right method when they are ready. Like the student and the master, when a person is ready, they hear about Ghita Therapy from someone they know, or they find us on Google.
When a client wants to change their lives, I help them to do the work. First, I hear their story and then I decide what method would best to heal. I am not the sort of counsellor that will just allow you to relive your story over and over, session after session. Sometimes talking about some trauma or problem just makes it worse by keeping it fresh and painful, instead of shifting and deleting it - so one can move on.
I really want to help you to be the best version of yourself. In fact, I have many clients who check back with me after years; and who tell me how much it changed their lives (and families) to have a therapist who listened, was direct and who unpacked the issues quickly. There are many happy stories. - Ghita Andersen. Testimonials.
