Why Counselling?
Life contains the unexpected. Disappointments. Betrayal. Setbacks. Life-altering news. Diagnoses. Relational challenges. Where do you go when you feel like life has turned upside down?
Perhaps you simply need someone to talk to – someone to hear you out. Maybe you just need someone to hear what’s in your heart. Maybe life hasn’t turned upside down, but you need the presence of another person to work with you through the things that feel heavy.
That’s why Well Soul Counselling Services exists: To offer a place for your soul to come in - to be in the presence of another who will truly listen.
Ann Voskamp, in her book entitled The Broken Way, states beautifully what Well Soul Counselling Services endeavours to offer:
“It’s always safe for the suffering here. You can struggle and you can wrestle and you can hurt and we will be here. Grace will meet you here; grace, perfect comfort, will always be served here.” (p. 21)
I have personally experienced true and lasting hope on the other side of pain, as others have sat with me in my own moments of struggle. Our stories won’t be the same – yours and mine – but one thing is certain: your soul deserves to be well. And it can be well.
When you call…
You will be asked a few brief questions. We will talk through a few of the policies and discuss the fee. We will then talk about a time for your first appointment.
When you arrive for your first session…
Your counsellor will ask you a series of questions in order to get to know more about who you are and what brought you in for counselling. During the first session, we will plan future appointments. Continuity of treatment is an important part of gaining all of the benefits of counselling so please plan ahead in scheduling appointments.
