PICTURE HOUSE CONSULTANCY

A Counselling Service

Counselling is a form of talking therapy, it is private conversation in a safe space and takes place between a counsellor and a client.

 

People come to counselling for many reasons, you will bring your own needs and wants to counselling, you may even want discover what they are, or you may just need to share what is going on for you in your life and try to make some sense of it.

​

I am a person centred counsellor. I will help you explore what is going on for you, and/or how you feel. During counselling sessions I will facilitate the journey you want to take yourself on.
