When a person realises he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy.
​
It is as though he were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me"

About therapy...
In a warm, non-judgemental and empathetic manner Audrey supports her clients in the exploration of their life story or issue. If a person is accepted positively and unconditionally for how they are, they grow through the process of valuing themselves via their lived experiences and the natural will towards betterment. This inner growth results in less reliance on external values, opinions, and beliefs leading to improvement of their self-esteem, self-acceptance and interpersonal-relationships.
​
Exploring family values, beliefs and behaviour patterns can open a space for the client to rewrite and create their future story. Supporting the Inner Child to tell their story, be it from the cradle, childhood, adolescence, or young adulthood, through the process of unravelling the dysfunction from within and understanding how the client became who they are now, empowers them to engage with the world in a more balanced way.
​
People display different types of behaviours in their attempts at dealing with the pain and frustration generated by their unsatisfying relationships. Audrey can facilitate with establishing
what her clients want, question what they are doing to get what they want, evaluating together whether these wants are realistic and achievable, and then helping her clients make a plan to achieve them.
​
Sessions are custom made to suit each individual's needs, no one approach will suit all clients so an integration of many therapeutic approaches maybe used.
