The Aura Tree Counselling Practice
The Aura Tree Counselling Practice is dedicated to providing a supportive environment for adults and teenagers to explore, heal, and find restoration. I take a client-centered approach and work from a base of Adlerian psychology. I am committed to helping clients navigate life's challenges and achieve emotional wellness and a sense of knowing and being oneself.
"Overcoming difficulties leads to courage, self-respect and knowing yourself."
-Alfred Adler
The therapeutic journey
Hi, my name is Erika, and I have been working as a counsellor since 2021, first as a trainee, and more recently fully qualified.
Through firsthand experiences of mental and physical health challenges, and finding my own pathway to greater self-awareness and acceptance, my counselling practice is grounded in empathy, understanding, reflection and gentle exploration of the challenges you are facing. I strive to provide a supportive space in which you can talk about your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement, and with time to process your own journey to this point. Together I hope to work through your challenges, and find a pathway through them to greater self-understanding, inner resolution, and peace.
The Aura Tree is my chosen symbol of growth, groundedness, and the uniqueness that makes up each individual human being.
My own journey into counselling has been woven together through education, learning and development, and a longer, ongoing journey of self-acceptance and love.
