Frequently Asked Questions

What is counselling?

Counselling is a way of exploring difficulties with someone who is trained, professional and not involved. Counselling is impartial and supportive - helping you to make the best choices from your own frame of reference. More than talking it is a way of finding a way through and supporting positive change.

What happens in counselling?

Counselling offers the space to talk freely and confidentially about what is of concern to you. You are in control of the sessions, deciding what is important to you, deciding priorities and what you want to achieve through counselling. You may set emotional, psychological or practical goals for our work together.

I use my skills to support, explore and help you further understand your situation, find a way through and make good choices and changes so that you can achieve your goals. 

What is Positive Psychology?

American psychologist and positive psychology expert Martin Seligman describes it as 'all the things that make us feel alive and want to get out of bed in the morning'. Positive Psychology is the study of people at their best ie: optimum functioning and flourishing. It is the study of what brings out the best in people, keeps us happy and maintains well-being.
