Counselling is a process which happens between client and counsellor which enables clarity, choice and change.
By listening actively and attentively, my training and experience will help me to feel and understand things from your point of view. When friends and families support us, they usually bring their own agendas with them. As your counsellor, I am only interested in you and you may find that I can listen to you in a way that allows you to really speak your mind and feel heard.
I am trained to hear your difficult thoughts and feelings and to accept and reflect them without judging them or becoming burdened myself. Then I may be able to help shed an outside light on the situation, support you to move on from an unsatisfactory place, or to simply stand by you as you share your pain.
Through the acceptance and respect that I will show you, your trust may develop and this may allow you to look at aspects of your life that you've never gone into before. Or you may be returning to work further on issues that you've already visited.
