Support for your difficulties
What is Counselling?
Counselling is a place where you can talk about your difficulties in a confidential, non judgemental space for you to decide and empower you to make the changes that you would like to make in your life.
Initially we will have a consultation to decide if Counselling is appropriate for your difficulties and how best to achieve your desired outcome. I will gather some personal information from you. This helps me get to know you and enable me to decide if I have the skills and knowledge to support you. It’s also an opportunity for you to meet me and decide if you woud like to work with me.
I am trained to work with your difficulties in different ways and will work with you to support you to achieve your desired outcome.
