Counselling

Counselling process

Counselling is a confidential relationship between two people, one a concerned responsive listener and the other a person needing to talk about a problem.

The counsellor promotes an environment in which the person can express their thoughts, feelings and values and begin to broaden their understanding of the problem.   This process assists the person towards finding an outcome which considers the various options available.

When a couple or family comes for counselling the process involves all those present.  Young children are involved through therapeutic activities appropriate for their age and needs.
