About Silverleaf Counselling
Online counselling service via e mail or Skype.
Counselling is quality ‘Me’ time – a time to reflect, refocus and recharge; a time given, just to you where your counsellor will truly listen and give you the opportunity to be really heard.
Therapy with me will suit your unique needs and personality. I aim to help you through well researched psychological perspectives and theories – which perhaps sounds a bit scary, but actually means I will listen carefully to all you want to tell me. I will try to understand your viewpoint and not judge what you have to say. We can then work together to explore your solutions, consider your choices, and develop ways that you can make realistic changes, within an empathic and supportive environment.
Simply having someone to talk to can often be a great relief.
I will help you to see and understand the process by which we can become trapped in our own issues. This insight can help you to make choices and find your own ‘sparkling moments’ and unique solutions.
Counselling aims to address the cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms.
Each person is unique and experiences things in different ways. I will help you to discover and use the resources you already have available to make sense of your problems, to increase your feelings of happiness, confidence and self-esteem, to help you take control of your own life and develop coping strategies for future difficulties.
