In the 1950s, every kindergartener knew the ritual: crayons down, lights low, and the soft hum of a record spinning through the air.
Naptime wasn’t a break — it was part of learning.

Teachers dimmed the lights, tiptoed between mats, and whispered, “Close your eyes.”
Kids rested, dreamed, or just stared at sunbeams dancing on the ceiling — learning something we’ve since forgotten: that rest is part of growth.

Then came the tests.
The “readiness.”
The race to get ahead.
By the 1980s, naps were gone. The mats rolled up. The lights stayed on.

Today, five-year-olds spend more time in structured lessons than third-graders did in the 1950s — no pauses, no quiet, no chance to just be.
And we wonder why they’re anxious.

Maybe it’s time we remembered what our teachers once knew:
You don’t grow by running all the time.
You grow in the stillness too.
Even big kids need naptime sometimes.

It’s never too late for a new beginning in life...

Many people seek counselling at times of change or crisis in their lives which prevents them from moving forward. If you are struggling with loss, uncertainty, distressing emotions or a life crisis I can help by providing a private, safe place where together we can explore your difficulties; enabling you to move towards positive change and healing.

The counselling process enables people to bring about change and transformation in their lives. I can help you clearly identify issues which may be hindering your personal growth and through counselling help achieve insights, increased self-awareness and conquer issues which may seem overwhelming. We will explore together how your past experiences may have adversely affected the way you live and operate within your life at present. I can work with you to find and develop your personal strengths by identifying what is really meaningful to you.

PSYCHODYNAMIC aims to help us achieve insight and understanding around the reasons for our problems by exploring unconscious processes affecting relationships.The goals of psychodynamic therapy are to enhance the client's self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on their present behaviour.

PERSON-CENTERED uses a collaborative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions. The therapist acts as a compassionate facilitator, listening without judgment and acknowledging the client’s experience.
