Engaging, warm and accepting, Tavis seeks first to be completely open to the life and experience of those he sits with. Within the embrace of supportive acceptance, you are invited to unveil, unmask, and unfold. You may thus discover and come to more deeply understand your patterns, your struggles and your joys. Along with supporting self-understanding and growth, Tavis’ counselling style is thoughtful & practical and empowers you to discover solutions that are yours – pathways forward that you can own.
With a strong community orientation, Tavis understands individual healing to be inextricably woven together within the contexts of family, community, place and culture. Group processes such as Scott Peck’s Community Building Circles and Bohm and Krishnamurti’s Large Dialogue Groups as well as the communication style and mindset of Nonviolent Communication have informed Tavis’ understanding. We have all experienced trauma (in greatly varying degrees) because of our embeddedness in the systems within which we have been formed.
