Calm Rivers Counselling

Therapy can be as general or as specific as you want it to be. You might have a specific issue or concern that you are dealing with, or you might just be focusing on your overall well being. Taking care of yourself and making your mental health a priority is one of the most important things you can do.

Talking to someone can help you make sense of things and assist you in the process of moving forward and making positive changes.

Research shows that one of the biggest success outcome factors in counselling is when you, as a client, believe that you could build a sense of trust and connection with your counsellor.

Building rapport with my clients is particularly important to me. I want you to feel safe and comfortable and at ease during your sessions. I want you to understand that you are in control of where you want therapy to go, and I am there to listen and help guide you through your journey.

I recently heard the expression “talking to a therapist is like talking to a friend that you don’t know” and I strive to create a space where you feel so comfortable and safe, that you are able to be yourself. A space where you can openly share without fear of judgement and recognize that whatever it is you are going through, matters.
