Counseling Basics
The art of the counselor is to form a collaborative, confidential relationship
focused on a desire to create meaning in the present, learn from the past and
plan for the future. It provides the opportunity to find answers to the issues in
your life by discovering your own truths.
As a 'guide on the side' not a 'sage on the stage', I will work with you to help
you:
The work is yours to do but I will stand with you where you are and ask you toshow me your world, then walk with you to help on your journey. It is not always
easy but the rewards can be the discovery of personal meaning and deeper
appreciation of your life experience.
