About Face to Face

Core Counselling is a private practice providing effective long or short term therapy to individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I am primarily a Person Centered Counsellor though I incorporate other methodologies depending on the individual client and their needs. I deal with all types of problems and offer the therapeutic space for you to explore any issue that concerns you or any emotional issue you are struggling with. You may feel hurt, confused or low about yourself and not even know why you feel the way you do. You may have a specific issue you want to address.

You may think that your issue is too big or too small, or you may wonder how talking about it can help?

  • By talking about what really concerns you and by being truly listened to, you will begin to gain more understanding and acceptance of yourself.

  • It will help you to get a different perspective on things without the demands of the outside world crowding in.

  • The discreet and respectful therapeutic space I offer will help you to explore freely and fully any area of your life …even things which are too difficult to talk about with friends and family.

  • I believe insight and understanding opens up the possibility to think, feel and behave differently and develop more of your potential. 

  • Counselling can help you to discover your own strengths, draw on your own resources, help you to work through any painful issue, find solutions, experience change and make changes to move towards a more fulfilling life.

Generally, one to one therapy sessions are organised on a weekly basis and at the same time each week, this ensures consistency for our sessions together as time boundaries play an important role. Some may decide to have fortnight session which can also be facilitated. One to one sessions usually run for 50 minutes.

Our first session will support you in understanding our working relationship. I view our initial session as an opportunity for you to explore whether working with me as your therapist will help you find solutions to tackle challenges you are currently facing. It is useful to obtain some basic information from you to see if I can assist your journey. This is generally centred around struggles and what prompted you to reach out for counselling in the first place and to identify what a good therapy outcome looks like for you.

I feel that building a therapeutic relationship provides the foundations for a trusting and meaningful alliance between us. I believe that each person is a unique individual. Your therapy will be tailored to your needs rather than trying to impose a rigid model or approach that may not be suitable for you.
