HOLISTIC COUNSELLING
How is Holistic Counselling different?
A holistic approach to counselling provides support that looks at the whole person, not just their mental health needs. This method of counselling considers a client’s wellbeing across multiple life areas:
✨Mental
✨Physical
✨Emotional
✨Social
✨Spiritual
Holistic Counselling understands that each person has had different life experiences and their thoughts and behaviours are often influenced by their past experiences, how they were raised and how they think about themselves and the world they are in. Sam was drawn to this this style of counselling as it does not place anyone into a box. It does not label anyone and each person’s journey
and support might look and feel different.
Does this sound like the support you are looking for? Book an Initial Appointment today.
