Counselling

Imagine you didn't feel sad if you lost someone you love. Imagine if you weren't angry at all if you were hurt. Imagine if you were in an accident and afterwards you never gave it a second thought...

We will all process life's challenges in different ways, but it is not unhealthy to feel bad sometimes. Talking to the right professional can be part of ensuring good mental health.

Even if you think that your thoughts are wrong, it is not a crime to voice them. A counsellor understands that the most wonderful people can have disturbing daydreams, be confused, or worry that they will be unable to live up to expectations. For fifty minutes a week you do not have to impress or look after anyone. You have time for yourself, to recuperate. You will be accepted, warts and all.

It can feel very dangerous to open the Pandora's box of difficult feelings. But you will be looked after, you will not break apart and you will have someone to stand by you in your journey. Every week, at the same time, a comfortable room will be waiting for you, where you are not judged and what you say is treated respectfully and confidentially.

To assist in making an informed choice as to the right counsellor for you, you are welcome to a free 20 minute consultation. Subsequent, 50 minute sessions are £35.

Life Coaching

If you could do anything,what would you do?

Imagine what it would be like to have more of what is good in your life and how that could change everything else. Imagine that you had the power to improve peoples lives. Imagine your dreams coming true.

Now make it happen.

You've already made a start by reading this and Life coaching could be your next step. You've heard stories of what people can do when they really need to. Well, all of us have that potential, all the time. You can take control of your life and make the movement you need to at a time that suits you. Life Coaching will become a place where you can articulate a successful plan and change a quiet whisper of an idea into a wonderful symphony. Coaching can be judged on its results. But that doesn't help you to choose at the beginning. To help you find out if Life Coaching is right for you and if I am the right coach, the first session is half price. Subsequent appointments are £75 for 1 1/2 hours. Home visits can be arranged.
