Nelson Mandela
Welcome to Compulsion to Serenity. I am Andi, a registered counsellor with a background in nursing, bringing a unique blend of personal and professional expertise in trauma and addiction. My passion lies in guiding individuals and couples to triumph over challenges and build deeper, more intimate relationships.
I know firsthand the profound impact of trauma and addiction because I have lived it. My journey through brokenness and shame has shaped who I am today and fuels my commitment to helping others. I believe that nobody should have to endure the isolation and pain that these experiences can bring. We all deserve deep, loving relationships and fulfilling physical intimacy.
With a foundation in nursing, I bring a holistic understanding of both physical and mental health to my counselling practice. I have dedicated myself to helping clients navigate the complex issues of both porn addiction and sexual abuse with a compassionate, person-centred approach. My lived experience allows me to address these challenges comprehensively, considering all aspects of your well-being.
I believe that the greatest pains we suffer in life are a result of relational damage—hurt people hurt people. However, I also believe that the greatest capacity for deep healing is through relationships. By fostering understanding, empathy, and connection, we can overcome even the most profound hurts and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.
I am approachable and friendly, working with a compassionate, person-centred approach that emphasizes understanding and collaboration. I am committed to building a strong therapeutic relationship and creating an environment that empowers you on your journey toward healing and well-being. Your growth and resilience are at the heart of my counseling, ensuring a focus on your needs and aspirations.
At compulsion to serenity, I offer a range of specialised services designed to support both individuals and couples on their journey toward healing and intimacy:
