Counselling is a way of creating space for ourselves to explore who we are and what is happening in our lives, allowing for greater self-awareness.
Counselling can help expand your knowledge of yourself, supporting you to find new ways of coping with what might feel like insurmountable challenges.
The counselling space is always yours to use in a way that nurtures your emotional growth and overall wellbeing.
We might explore past experiences and how these inform the present.
We might explore the present to help understand what it is that is leading to a sense of stuckness.
We might delve into feelings, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour that are creating stuckness or difficulties.
While its simplicity can be confounding; the art of talking alongside the act of being heard without judgement, can help create a landscape of deeper self-understanding. Armed with increased self-awareness, life can feel more freeing as new options emerge, allowing us to transform our lives.
How do I know if you can support me with what I am struggling with?
I understand that it can be very difficult asking for support and trusting in someone you don’t know. I am able to offer you a free, no obligation 20 minute phone call or we can meet via Zoom online where we can talk about what you are needing support with.
We might then decide to schedule an initial 60 minute session where we can meet in person or online.
This then gives you the chance to decide if you feel I am someone you want to work with.
If it doesn't feel right, then there is no harm in changing your mind - it matters to me that you find the best person for what you need.
How Often Will We Meet And For How Long?
Ideally we would meet weekly, and we would arrange a time and day of the week that is most convenient for you.
It is always your choice as to how long you would like to have counselling. I would invite you to give it a try, there is no harm in changing your mind if you feel it is not for you.
If you have different requirements, I am happy to talk these through with you.
What Sort Of Counselling Will Suit Me?
Counselling sessions can be face to face however I am happy to offer online counselling for adults who find it difficult to access counselling in person.
For online counselling to work well, it is important to have access to a safe and confidential space, free of interruption.
