In my practice, counselling is the process of talking about and working through your problems in a supportive and positive way. It will help you to clarify issues, explore options, develop strategies and increase self-awareness. Often, just the process of talking about your concerns and being truly listened to, is helpful and provides great insight. Once we have identified the strategies/behaviours that will help you move forward, my support will include coaching to help you keep living the life that fosters optimal health (mind, body and emotions) and overall wellbeing (purpose, meaning, fulfilment, happiness).
