About Tangata Counselling

---

Hello and welcome.

I am a fully qualified counsellor providing a private practice service. I have years of experience, both professionally and personally, making me a good choice for a wide range of issues. My counselling sessions are at a pace to suit you, thus offering you the chance to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. At all times I can ensure you of my discretion, confidentiality and the security of the environment I provide.

Free Consultation.

I offer clients the opportunity to meet for an initial chat to work out whether we would like to work together in a counselling relationship. It's very important that we feel comfortable with each other. This time will not be used for high-pressure sales and is completely no obligation.

Initial session.

During our first session, we will spend more time getting to know each other and finding out what has brought you to me. This will allow us to work out some initial aims of counselling and how many sessions we would like to agree as a starting point. We will often review our progress and you will be free to end our relationship at any time. Also, during this session we will agree on any relevant boundaries - for example the frequency and time of your sessions.

How I work.

I believe that counselling is most effective when we can trust each other. Therefore a priority of mine is to build trust between us through an open and honest relationship. By believing that you know more about your situation than I do, together we can discuss how certain things make you feel, think or behave. Through the trust that we have built, I will be able to offer alternative ways of thinking or viewing things that I hope will start thoughts and actions with you. Each of my clients are unique and so sensitivity is key to starting the journey of self-recovery and feeling better within yourself.
