Counselling or coaching can be described as a route to discovering and fostering your authentic self, and being you more fully and effectively.
This takes place in a safe and held, confidential environment where you can expect:
- Acceptance and appreciation for the unique human being you are
- Support and empathy as you explore your inner and outer world and experiment with new ways of thinking and behaving
- Conversation that encourages recognition of coping, progress and resources
- Questions that offer the opportunity to discover your depth, values and strengths, and that may challenge habitual perceptions
- Encouragement to be present with feelings and aware of thoughts in a more neutral and relaxed way, to be kind and compassionate with yourself in your learning and development
- Outcome orientation, working to enable you to make changes in areas that you feel will make the most difference in your life and being clear and specific about how you will recognise progress towards goals
- Empowerment arising from feeling that you have a greater range of choice and possibility in your life
- Enhanced optimism because recognising what you value, what nourishes you, and making congruent choices plays a role in promoting sustainable happiness and contentment.

Your Part
To get the most from this collaborative work you will be:
- Open to learning
