I am Ingried Upingasana I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor who holds a degree in Counselling and Coaching and a master's in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology. 

I enjoy helping people navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and find their path to personal growth and well-being. With a deep commitment to understanding the unique needs of each client, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for self-exploration and healing. My mission is to empower you to overcome obstacles and challenges in life and reach your full potential. It is possible to identify and overcome any barriers that may be holding you back from living your best life. 

My approach is grounded in empathy, compassion, and respect. I believe in creating a collaborative relationship with you to identify, develop and achieve your goals together. I draw from different evidence-based techniques and approaches, including cognitive-behavioural therapy, spirituality, mindfulness-based stress reduction, solution-focused, person-centred and psychodynamic approaches, as well as positive psychology interventions such as the gratitude journal, gratitude visits, acts of kindness, developing meaning, designing a beautiful day, etc., to help clients achieve meaningful and lasting change. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply feeling stuck, I am here to help.

During the initial session, a counselling contract is established, and boundaries and the limits of confidentiality are discussed. Furthermore, this provides me, the counsellor, with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the client and assess their requirements as they elaborate on their motivations for seeking counselling. In addition, customers are requested to fill out an assessment instrument and ask any questions.
