She is a State Registered Chiropodist. In counselling you explore your own issues in a private and confidential setting. It is essentially a human, personal and mutual exchange between you and your counsellor with the aim of enabling you to become more in charge of your life. You may not be clear what your problem is and so it may help you in clarifying and expressing your thoughts and feelings. It is a way of coming to understand yourself, develop personal insight and knowledge.
Some people use counselling for personal growth.
Counselling requires a commitment of time and effort from both you and your counsellor It will probably take several sessions to get a clear picture of what is happening. After that counselling continues for as long or short a time as you and your counsellor agree. You choose how much you want to share with your counsellor and you always make your own decisions about change.
