Verdure Wellness and Tish Els Registered Counsellor is a Private Counselling Practice with a focus on holistic mental health care. The word "Verdure" means a lush and flourishing garden; the condition of health and growth. I often use the analogy of tending a garden in refence to taking care of our mental health - it necessitates maintenance, cultivation, tillage, planting, unearthing, and nurturing saplings of thought, behaviour, and even hope.As a holistic mental health practitioner, my desire is to create a safe space where you can traverse difficult emotions, without judgement, and make sense of your inner world; To help you nurture your own innate resilience, to cultivate mindful living, and to build meaningful and intentional connections with others.So many are carrying the heavy weight of grief, heartache, loss of connection and so much more. We feel isolated, forgotten, alone in our struggles and often punish ourselves for feeling broken and lost. But the truth is you are stronger than you think, braver than you know, and most certainly not alone. I help people like yourself reconnect with themselves and others, learn new and healthy ways to cope, and find their own way towards healing and meaning.I myself have known my own share of heartache and I empathise deeply with those who are hurting. Although I may not know your personal pain, I can hold the space for you and help you find meaning in the hurt. I invite you to take this counselling journey with me and take the first step towards healing and growth.
