Teaching
My teaching philosophy is of lifelong learning and praxis – theory in practice, with a focus on collaborative models of education. Creating a learning space for students invites dialogue, the realm of ideas and knowledge and (lots of!) experiential practice. I believe the desire for learning, healing and growing is part of all of us. Our profession of counselling is a deeply ethical and professional undertaking and I welcome our students to this learning community.
