Following an initial confidential chat, we will work together to find positive pathways forward. My approach is tailored to you, as I seek to work in step with a persons needs and apply the relevant tools, resources and healing processes that the person needs. Giving time to hear your story and understanding your own distinct journey allows me to work with the unique individual that you are. This involves working in the present but also being able to explore past trauma and where this may contribute to being stuck or simply struggling.
Many of us have arrived in life with numerous coping mechanisms which have helped to get us here, but have reached the end of their ability to serve us. It can feel like they are failing us or working against us. Coping mechanisms are often learned in our developmental years or through trauma, to help us cope with the absence of things we needed and the presence of those things none of us wish to experience. They are to get us through a crisis, they are survival skills but surviving is not the same as living. Sometimes we need to find out how to feel safe and confident in the here and now.
Gaz Kishere has been working in people caring contexts for more than 30 years. Having worked in organisations and with individuals, it has given him a good breadth of understanding of the challenges with Life, Work and Relationships. He is keen to help people deconstruct toxic environments and recognises that this may be within family, friendships, the workplace or even a persons life limiting belief systems. The desire is to help you achieve healthy independence and a renewed sense of self. Burn out, stress, conflicts and feeling down, are all an opportunity for a deeper work, growth and confidence.
