English speaking on-line Counsellor

Service Description

On-line counselling and its benefits On-line counselling offers a flexible and accessible way of engaging in meaningful therapeutic work from the comfort of your own space. For many of my clients meeting on-line feels less intimidating, which in turn allows them to open up and feel more relaxed to explore what's really going on beneath the surface. It eliminates travel barriers and allows therapy to take place in an environment where they already feel safe. My approach to counselling is client-centred. This gives you the opportunity to focus on what matters to you the most, and at your own pace. You are the expert of your own life; my role is simply to walk along-side you , offering curiosity, compassion, and thoughtful reflection. Rather than directing or advising, which is often what friends and family members offer up when you go to them with a problem, I listen carefully and respond what you bring to each session. The therapeutic relationship itself is an important part of the work. Often, the way we relate to each other can reflect patterns of behaviour and attitudes that would typically show up in your wider world, e.g. in your relationships with work colleagues, loved one's or within yourself. My role can be likened to holding up a mirror to your presenting problems/issues, and by providing feedback on what I notice, or how I experience you as a person, this can give you sharper insights into your internal world and how you present yourself to the outside world. I liken this work to playing 'detectives', i.e. paying attention to themes, feelings, behaviours which help us both to make sense of aspects of you that may feel confusing or stuck. Over time, this process can create new opportunities or life choices, and you may begin to think, feeling and respond differently to your current relationships and those from your past. On-line counselling can help you overcome a wide range of issues, and often within in a short period of time change can feel possible and manageable. I have supported clients who are struggling with issues such as: - Addictions - Anxiety - Depression - Fear of change - Fear of dying - Grief - Low self esteem/confidence If you are curious about what counselling can do for you please get in touch with myself, Paul Jokinen-Carter on 910 665 601 or paul@naturaljokiflow.com
