Hello, and welcome to Southland Counselling. My name is Emma.
Deciding that you want to begin counselling is a big step, and I am here to hold that journey with you. I work with adults, offering a safe and confidential space where you will be seen and heard with empathy and without judgement, allowing you to freely explore what is happening with you.
I am a qualified person-centred counsellor, and this means that we will build an authentic and reflective therapeutic relationship that will foster your self-awareness and clarity in a sensitive way, and at your pace. I will actively and compassionately be alongside you as you explore what you bring to your sessions, inviting you to notice and be curious about what comes up for you. I will support you in making sense of what your experiences mean to you, and in learning a deeper understanding of yourself.
I feel that counselling can help because it does not seek to evaluate people in line with psychological theories or labels, it makes contact with the human in the person. It acknowledges you as an individual with unique ways of experiencing what happens, and how it is to be you. It is through the conditions of the counselling relationship, and your deepening awareness and acceptance of yourself that you can find your way to grow personally, and to become empowered to make the changes you wish for and create a more fulfilling life.
Counselling can help with an array of presenting issues. You may need a space to talk about your current or historical life experiences. You may be facing personal challenges. You may need support in navigating a major life change. You may be feeling lost or stuck with no clear path in sight. I will be a warm and steady presence as you explore what you bring to your space.
Counselling can also be a place to discover yourself. You may feel that you are developing on a personal level, and you would like to explore what this means for you. I can be with you on this journey, in helping you to identify the shifts you are noticing, and through your own awareness, I can support you as you bring expression to who and how you want to be.
You can contact me via text message or email, and we will set up a free 30 minute telephone consultation to discuss your needs, and you can ask me any questions you may have.
