If you are new to this, counselling may seem strange at first. For some of you getting stuck in will be easy. For others it can be tricky to get started. I’ll usually ask something like “what brings you to counselling?” to get us going and we go from there. You may have specific goals or want to just see what happens, either is fine.
I provide a free, ten minute telephone consultation which can help you decide if counselling or coaching is for you.
