DO I NEED COUNSELLING?

Counselling can be useful at all stages of life, whether you are recovering from a particular crisis or have more general feelings you want to work through. You may know you have a problem or difficulty but are unable to find the answers on your own. Counselling helps you discover solutions, untangle emotions, and find peace with situations beyond your control.


WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM A COUNSELLING SESSION?

As a humanistic integrative counsellor, I use a variety of counselling techniques to help you overcome your challenges. Just like people themselves, all situations are different, and therefore no two counselling sessions will be the same. I will listen and will interrupt you on occasions to ask you questions to help you navigate your thoughts and feelings. You are free to discuss whatever issues you have on the day of your session; we approach each session as a new opportunity to discover more about you. I will often circle back to the beginning of the session to see if your intention for the session has been fulfilled.


WHAT ISSUES CAN YOU HELP ME WITH?

I have a lot of experience as a palliative care nurse. However, I also help people work through anxiety, self esteem issues, depression, developmental traumas, LGBTQ issues and any other area that you feel you need to work on. Your treatment is always guided by you, with your mental wellbeing at the forefront of everything we do together.


HOW MANY COUNSELLING SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

Until we begin working together, we won’t know how many sessions you will need to find a resolution to your problem. During our initial consultation we will discuss your options and come up with a counselling plan to determine our short-term goals. As we near those goals you might feel that you need further help, or you might feel ready to move on.


DO YOU OFFER ONLINE ONLY COUNSELLING?

I offer both in person and online counselling sessions via the Zoom platform. Book a consultation today so we can discuss the options available that suit your particular needs and situation.


WHAT IS YOUR COUNSELLING PROCESS?

There are several routes we can take, but follow largely the same steps:

  • Book initial consultation
  • If you decide that we’re a good fit, you book in the first session
  • During the first session we discuss: what we are trying to achieve (so that our sessions are purposeful) and we agree what our responsibilities are as both counsellor and client
  • We regularly assess progress together to make sure we remain on track
  • You might decide to extend counselling if additional issues arise, or you might even get to where you want to be faster than expected.
  • After counselling you will have gained valuable insights into yourself and have the tools you need to manage challenges going forward
