COUNSELLING

icon
Sometimes, all we need is someone to talk to. Someone who can compassionately listen without any judgements and simply be present with us. Counselling can be useful whenever you feel overwhelmed by situations you don't know how to emotionally deal with – e.g. the loss of your job, your health or a loved one. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but of self-responsible empowerment.

Even if we are generally blessed with supportive friends and family members, they're often part of the story themselves, having to deal with their own issues and agendas. Because I am not involved in the situation, I can support you by reflecting it back to you from a different perspective, facilitating new insights and understandings without the need to “fix” you.

As a method of dealing with overwhelming emotions and obsessive thoughts, counselling is not about changing the situation (which often is impossible) but your response to it.

Unless specifically requested, I hardly ever work with counselling alone. As soon as the client feels safe and confident enough to proceed into more active methods of transformation, I incorporate holistic facilitation into the sessions. I'm also happy to teach self-empowering techniques like self-hypnosis & meditation if this is appropriate and wanted.
