Counselling

evolution provides a counselling service to clients from all walks of life. The term "counselling" includes work with individuals, pairs or groups of people

People are often confused by what counselling is and what it isn't and this confusion may lead them to believe that it is not for them.

Counselling is:

• An opportunity for you to work towards living in a more satisfying and resourceful way.
• A relationship based on mutual respect.
• A time for you to talk about anything you want to explore.
• A time for you to be truly listened to.
• Support for you as you undergo change.

Counselling is not:

• About being told what to do.
• An advice service (you will be encouraged to find your own solutions in a way which fits your life style).
• "Just listening".

People choose to come to counselling for a variety of reasons. In the past these have included:

• Help with making difficult decisions.
• Support through relationship difficulties.
• Stress management.
• Coping with crisis.
• Developing personal insight.
• Dealing with bereavement and loss.
• However, if you have another reason for requiring counselling we would be happy to discuss this with you.

At evolution we believe that the counsellor's role is to work with you in a way that respects your values, your personal resources and your capacity for growth at the time.

Why not contact us if you would like to know more. We can arrange a first meeting to discuss your options and we do not always charge a fee for this introductory session.
