Counselling, Facilitation, Coaching, Support
Do you need help to figure things out? Do you need some structure to your planning? Do you need someone to listen and reflect?
Why are you here?
Most of us need support at some point on our journey. It may be that you have decisions or frustrations that coaching could help with or you may have established upset or trauma that is holding you back and counselling could help with that. It could also be that you are in a great place and you just need someone to share with, someone who can empathise and provide a safe and encouraging space to experiment and grow.
You can find help through the specialists listed below and at the bottom of the page, answers to FAQ’s like, what is the difference between coaching and counselling. However we can help, you should expect to find a safe space be treated with respect, empathy and congruence.
