How will it help me?
Find clarity and acceptance
Perhaps you have been struggling with a personal issue and feeling alone. In a non- judgemental space you might explore thoughts and feelings not previously looked at.
My presence is supportive in this process and observations and reflections that I may provide may help you ‘stick at it’ and find your own resources to deal with certain issues.

In order for counselling to be successful the client needs to trust the counsellor. In the beginning time is spent building this trust and the importance of the client feeling that they may voice their feelings without fear of judgement is absolutely essential.
The process is essentially the catalyst needed for insight and clarification.
