Clients are empowered to embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-awareness and to work towards improved emotional wellbeing and mental health. Having lost close family members to cancer, Antonia’s lived experience of bereavement and as a caregiver supports a collaborative and authentic therapeutic relationship.
