As A Counsellor …

Questions

Want an issue or situation changed in your life?

Struggling to resolve an issue?

Have you become ‘stuck’?

Need outside help to move on and grow?

Way ahead seems unsure?

Fears to overcome?

It is always your choice to come to counselling and you are free to choose your own counsellor.

As a counsellor,

I help you to:

* explore your thoughts and emotions.
* gain a greater awareness of yourself, your values, and what motivates you.
* find realistic ways of reaching your goals.
* improve your relationships.
* reduce stress.
* do things differently.
* develop a sense of well-being.

I may:

* see you on your own or with a support person.
* have my supervisor present during an interview
* discuss your situation with my supervisor in a way that protects your privacy.
* tape a session or take notes with your permission. This information will be kept secure and used for supervision and then destroyed.
* act on your behalf with your permission, or refer you to someone more appropriate.

I am expected to: 

* be trustworthy.
* respect your confidentiality.
* listen with respect.
* have integrity.
* work under the N.Z.C.C.A. code of ethics.
* have regular supervision with a trained counsellor.
* support you in the changes you make.

 I am married, have two young children.

Sometimes what we think and feel aren’t based on the truth.
I look at how thinking affects behaviour and ways of changing negative or destructive thinking.
I value the significance and sacredness of life, giving hope, and gaining freedom.
