I believe in your inner resources to heal and step onto a new path, in your own way, and offer my services in confidence, as a compassionate witness on your journey of healing. During our sessions, I will gently encourage you to be true to yourself and your own direction, especially as you explore unsettling or difficult issues. My training and experience includes both psychological and spiritual dimensions of human growth and potential. Psychology and spirit are deeply connected: I have witnessed my own and others' healing coming through the heart, the body and the spirit.
At times, I may suggest you pause to sense your body and breath, to help deepen a connection with the moment and with your deepest self. As you go deeper, I will continue to reflect back to you your own truth, helping you clarify what is most important to you. I give up to 1/2 hour free consultation (15 min is the standard Psychology Today wording).
"I recommend Olivia Fermi as a counsellor. Oliva is a trusted colleague who integrates counselling theory and technique with her varied life experience. With compassion, she adapts her therapeutic approach to the unique needs of her clients." -- Mahmud Nestman, MEd, RCC & founder of the Cura Institute for Integrated Learning
