CHRISTY TURPIN COUNSELLING
OUR APPROACH
We believe in the power of genuine human connection and the importance of providing a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for individuals seeking support. Our person-centred counselling approach focuses on you as a unique individual, respecting your autonomy, and valuing your lived experiences. We understand that each person's journey is distinct, and we are here to walk alongside you, providing guidance and empathy as you explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
Our Approach:
-
Client-Centred Care: Our entire counselling philosophy revolves around you, the client. We respect your inherent worth as a human being and recognize that you possess the inner resources needed to navigate life's challenges. Our counsellors act as empathetic facilitators, supporting your self-exploration and personal growth.
-
Non-Directive Approach: We do not offer advice or try to impose solutions. Instead, we actively listen, seek to understand your unique experiences, and encourage self-discovery. Through active listening and reflection, we help you gain deeper insights into your thoughts and emotions, empowering you to make meaningful decisions for yourself.
-
Empathy and Unconditional Positive Regard: Our counsellors embody empathy and unconditional positive regard. You can expect to be met with genuine warmth, acceptance, and a non-critical attitude. Our aim is to create a safe space where you feel comfortable expressing your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
-
Collaborative Partnership: We view counselling as a collaborative process, where you and your counsellor work together to explore your feelings, set goals, and uncover your inner strengths. Our counsellors will adapt their approach to meet your unique needs, ensuring that you feel supported every step of the way.
COUNSELLING SERVICES
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
Our one-on-one counselling sessions provide a private and confidential space for you to explore your emotions, thoughts, and concerns. We work with a wide range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and personal growth. Sessions can be virtual or in person.
WALK & TALK COUNSELLING
Walk and Talk Counselling, also known as ecocounselling, is a form of counselling or psychotherapy that takes place outside in natural settings such as parks, gardens, forests, or along serene walking paths. This approach combines the benefits of physical activity and the healing power of nature with the insights gained through verbal expression. The counsellor and client walk together, creating a safe and comfortable space to explore emotions, thoughts, and challenges. These sessions are in person only.
COUPLES COUNSELLING
For couples facing challenges in their relationship, our person-centred approach facilitates open and honest communication. We strive to create a safe environment where both partners can express themselves and work towards understanding and strengthening their connection. Sessions can be virtual or in person.
