counselling:

Counselling offers you an ally as you move along the pathway of your life … and a space that is confidential and in which you will not be judged. The counselling journey may be a short as 6-7 sessions and focused on immediately pressing issues, or it can be longer, exploring in depth the course of your life, aspects of your personality and the key motives that guide you.

 

The aim is for you to take charge of your life and be more fulfilled by it. To create these changes will require commitment from you, since you may be challenged to work through crises and relationships, to come to a deeper understanding of traumatic events you have been through or are going through, and to look with fresh eyes at your personality.

 

psychotherapy:

Counselling shades over into psychotherapy when it begins to explore your past in greater detail, perhaps uncovering motives, influences and assumptions you had not been aware of before – or when it begins to transform your connections with your future and with the world. By its very nature, this sort of work usually takes more than a few sessions.

 

life coaching:

Counselling shades over into life coaching when it focuses especially on the future and on achieving goals you wish to achieve. Like other sorts of coach, your life coach helps you to work out steps that move you towards your goal and to develop skills you require to overcome limitations and monitor your progress.

 

supervision:

As a supervisor, I support my supervisees in their work or profession. For example, if my supervisee is a counsellor, as many are, we concern ourselves with the well being of their clients and with their own professional development and life as a counsellor.
