As a Counsellor, who am I and what do I do?
I am a highly trained and experienced professional who listens to you with undivided attention, openly and without judgement to help you deal with emotional and psychological issues.
My counselling sessions
NB: I am also a trained and highly experienced Life Coach.
There are many points of crossover and similarity between the two roles, Life Coach and Counsellor, the most important one being that in both roles I want to help you find and create a life you feel better about
There are also some crucial differences: as a Counsellor, for instance, I am trained in human development, sexuality, family dynamics, and mental health conditions; as a Coach, I focus on helping you identify goals for moving forward in your life, challenging and supporting you in your quest to achieve them;
In practice, with many clients I find myself employing the benefits of each approach. As a counselling client, for instance, there will come moments when you are ready to look beyond the emotional distress and focus more on goals. In those moments we may find it appropriate to employ the tools of Life Coaching
