Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? Would you like to feel more confident and empowered? You might be experiencing anxiety, lacking motivation or a sense of purpose. Maybe you feel blocked or out of touch with who you used to be. Perhaps you are overwhelmed with a whole range of different feelings.

The Person-Centred Approach
Counsellors are trained in different modalities, and this determines how they work with clients. My training is in the person-centred approach, which affirms that the client is the expert on their own life and experiences, and has within themselves the necessary resources for growth and change. The role of the counsellor is to journey alongside the client, listening with empathy and without judgement, offering reflections and observations to help them gain deeper insight. You can learn more about this approach in my blog section.
