The Therapeutic Relationship

Building Trust: The Heart of Effective Counselling

I believe that the foundation of effective counselling lies in the strength of the therapeutic relationship. Building a genuine connection and fostering trust between counsellor and client are paramount to achieving meaningful outcomes. Finding the right counsellor is a personal journey, and it’s essential to choose someone who feels like the right fit for you. The counsellor with the most impressive credentials may not always be the one who resonates with you the most. What truly matters is the quality of the connection you feel.

In our sessions, you can expect a relationship characterised by
