About Prossy

I understand the importance of feeling safe and secure and trusting one with your worries. I can help build a safe and confidential relationship with which you can express your worries. I offer support to help you work through any issues you may encounter. I will aim to work with you to support you in understanding and accepting yourself and your circumstances. I can do that by listening and communicating my understanding of whatever you express. This can facilitate your self-awareness and act as an insightful way of adjusting to a better way of being.  

I have a specialist interest in difference and diversity in young and old, women and men, and this was the focal point of my research dissertation. For example, immigration uncertainties, discrimination of race, culture, age, religion, class, disability, etc.

 There is a growing rate of mental health issues among young people, and many find it difficult to talk about such issues. Often, they experience anxiety and depression. I understand the importance of mental well-being for children and young people. I have experience working with children and younger people of over 10 years.  

I have also worked with women victims and survivors of domestic violence, including rape and all sorts of abuses.

I also work with couples from all types of relationship orientations. I take time to go through a detailed assessment in three parts, which helps the individuals to identify the root cause of their issues.

 Christ-Centered Approach 

I am a Christian, believing God is vital in healing. I, therefore, use the integration of religion into therapy. I do so in an overt approach that systematically deals with spiritual issues in therapy on the condition of the subject brought up by the client. I also use resources like prayer and scripture. 

I look at psychotherapy through the lens of scripture and believe that dealing with human emotions and behaviours requires principles that are compatible with the Bible. I regard the Bible as the infallible Word of God. I study the Bible and use scripture to govern my thinking as I work with my clients, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide my process and how I interact with my clients.

I appreciate clients come from varying religious backgrounds. Therefore, I aim to explore my religious beliefs and values within the initial session to introduce myself and explain how I work. Also, I will inform my clients of the availability of the opportunity for them to pray within our sessions should they wish to have it as part of their therapeutic process. I will not impose my beliefs on my clients but rather ensure their autonomy. I use a non-directive approach to therapy to allow the client to lead their therapeutic process and decision-making. I will walk with the client on the self-exploration journey, helping them to identify solutions to their issues. 

My views and beliefs are inspired by my religious background and from a book by Neil T. Anderson, Terry E. Zuehike, and Julianne S. Zuehlke, 2000, Christ-Centered Therapy.
