When searching for a counsellor to support your mental health, there are few things to look for:
- Connection between You and your Counsellor
- Someone who knows You are the expert of your life
- Someone who looks beyond Your 'symptoms' or 'diagnosis'
- Someone who listens, hears and understands You
- Someone whose focus is You
A Counsellor can have education, qualifications and years of experience, but without these things, the benefits to you may be minimal.
We work with you from an holistic, person centred, strengths based and future focussed, not problem focussed, perspective to assist you to achieve your goals and preferred future.
Whilst your past is an important part of influencing who you are today, our focus in counselling is working in the
'here and now'
to understand what may be impacting on your mental health.
