I feel successful counselling is built on a foundation of a good therapeutic relationship. I will work with you and try to build that relationship. I will do this by treating everything we talk about as confidential, being honest, genuine, respectful and non-judgemental. This will build trust between us and of the counselling process, which will enable you to explore your feelings and thoughts at your own pace and in a safe space. During counselling we will work together to build those foundations which will enable, underpin and reinforce a productive therapeutic relationship that can help you to achieve the outcome you desire. Although predicting exactly what will happen is challenging, as each therapeutic relationship is different and each client's experience unique, a successful therapeutic relationship can enable and promote in the client; self-confidence, self-esteem, self-motivation, self-belief. This can also increase self-awareness leading to understanding, opportunity and motivation to change through choice. A counselling session built on a successful therapeutic relationship will provide a safe, reassuring 'space' where you are able to feel supported, explore your thoughts and feelings, understand your experiences and what they mean to you and promote your well being. I also offer an online secure messenger/ chat service which is particularly useful for those used to communicating in this way and telephone counselling.
