COUNSELLING SERVICES

**The Counselling Offer**

The counselling I offer is free from judgment. My aim is to truly hear and understand you, providing a non-directive approach that facilitates your goals and needs. By validating your experiences, I empower you in the process, allowing you to reflect on your thoughts and feelings. This can lead to increased confidence in making decisions that feel right for you.

My role is not to tell you what to do or how to help yourself but to guide you in your own direction. Throughout our sessions, I will reflect on your progress, helping you see what you have worked through and what you may want to focus on moving forward. Essentially, I serve as a mirror, bringing aspects of yourself into your awareness to aid in your understanding.

We can work together either short-term or long-term. Initially, I typically contract for six weeks. This provides you with an opportunity to experience the sessions and decide if you would like to continue.

I offer a free telephone consultation, so please contact me if you would like to schedule this. During the call, I can explain the counselling process and answer any questions you may have. If you decide to move forward after our conversation, I offer an initial, one-off paid session with no obligation. This allows you to determine whether I am the right counsellor for you. There is no need to have a telephone call if you prefer; you can contact me directly to discuss scheduling an appointment.

**Couples Counselling**  

I also provide couples counselling, where I create a space for two people to hear each other and work through their individual or shared concerns. My role as a couples counsellor is to remain neutral and provide a supportive environment for both individuals to find their own solutions and answers. This applies to intimate relationships as well as family members and friendships.
