Counselling. Wherever you may be.
Counselling: The Listener
A gentle, human connected experience.
It requires commitment of time and effort on the part of both the counsellor and client.
The counsellor must commit to:
-
Creating an environment of comfort and ease
-
Being caring, empathetic and patient
-
Asking gentle questions to enable the client to express themselves
-
Listening more than talking
The client must commit to:
-
Attending sessions
-
Responding honestly to questions
-
Opening up with the counsellor's gentle guidance
-
Working with the counsellor so that they can realistically achieve their end goal
Counselling has proven to be an extremely effective therapy for a wide variety of situations with which people are struggling.
As a counsellor, I help people to:
-
Gain clarity and perspective of the problems they are facing
-
Find their own solutions to the problems they are facing
-
Give them the space to be themselves and to be open and honest about the way they truly feel
-
Develop an understanding of their individual needs so that they are more capable of making their own decisions
-
Discover more about themselves and become self aware
-
Learn to accept themselves and others
-
Work out what is not working in their lives and support them in any limiting beliefs and behaviours
-
Guide them to perceive or respond to things differently so they feel able to communicate their feelings more effectively
-
Recognise and learn to cope with issues from the past that are preventing them from moving forward
