Counselling is an interaction in which the counsellor offers another person the time attention and respect necessary
to explore, discover and clarify ways of living more resourcefully, and to his or her greater well-being. Counselling
is a way of empowering the client to cope with their current situation and help them explore ways to improve their situation.
The aim of counselling is to enable clients to take responsibility for their own lives and emphasises choice.
Counselling aims to make clients more decisive and better choosers for themselves and their situation. Counselling is
about helping you to make sense of your thoughts and feelings so that you can then make decisions about what to do
to bring about change in your life.

Counselling is open to all ages. My experience in working with individuals with developmental disabilities and individuals recovering from a mental illness makes me an invaluable resource to providers of care for these individuals seeking a counsellor for their clients.
