Confidential counsellors

The format of a coaching session can vary depending what is happening for you in your life.

You tell me what you want to achieve and I coach you on that so you can more effectively align your plan of actions to your purpose.

Usually we start with you saying what you feel like saying so we can get complete on that and focus on the session.

Then I coach you as we go over the actions that you have taken since the previous session and what happened as a result of those actions.

You then plan and commit to the actions that you will be taking before our next session.

We end by scheduling the next session.

I usually use person centered counselling.

You talk and I actively listen. From time to time I will reflect back to you what I believe that you said, or what I observe.

I am committed to creating judgement free zone where you feel safe.

A counselling session is not for the purpose of me giving advice to you. I recommend that you get advice from the best qualified competent advisers instead of getting advice from me. For example get your health advice from a health practitioner and get your financial advice from a financial advisor.

As long as you are honest and open with me, the details of anything that you say or write will remain confidential.

I have a support team and in order to best support you, I may share some what happens for me in any of our sessions, with members of my team who I trust. Please be responsible for letting me know any time you are concerned about that, so your privacy is respected.

You are free to disclose anything that I say with anybody. I ask that you keep what I say in context if you do so.

I am committed to keeping my agreements with you. If at any time I find I am unable to keep any agreement that I have made to you, I am committed to letting you know as soon as possible.

I believe that honest people have a right of self determination.

I also believe that honest people have a right to be defended from being infringed upon by others.

We lose our rights when we do not take responsibility for keeping our rights. For example if we observe unethical behavior and we don’t speak up, we create a situation where the society takes justice actions, some of which may impinge on the rights of honest people.
