 What is Counselling?

"Counselling is an activity freely entered into by the person seeking help, it offers the opportunity to identify things for the clients themselves that are troubling or perplexing. It is clearly and explicitly contracted, and the boundaries of the relationship are identified. The activity itself is designed to help self exploration and understanding. The process helps to identify thoughts, emotions, physical responses and behaviour that, once accessed, may offer the client a greater sense of personal resources and self determined change." 

Adapted from the definition by Russell et. al. taken from ‘ Differentiation between Advice, Guidance, Befriending, Counselling Skills, and Counselling.’

 Service Philosophy

The service philosophy is to provide a safe space for each individual, regardless of their differences and diversity of experience, to explore life issues in a non-judgemental environment; believing that each individual is the expert within their own life and the counsellor or psychotherapist supplies the skills to work alongside them as they explore their inner world.
