Counselling Approach
Brandi works with clients to explore their core beliefs and values. Through the journey of life, our experiences shape how we think and behave. Often we need to explore the nature of these processes through psychodynamic theory. In using theories such as personality theory, somatic therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, and the understanding of neuroscience, clients can begin to make sense of their past and present experiences/feelings and find new ways of coping/understanding stress and anxiety, while building confidence and self-worth.
