Counselling Services

Counselling is a therapeutic service that provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to discuss and navigate through their personal challenges. It involves a professional relationship between a counsellor and a client, where the counsellor guides the client in exploring their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and helps them develop strategies to address their experiences.

My Approach

One such professional offering counselling services is Mervyn Reid, a light-hearted counsellor. With over 20+ years of experience, Mervyn has worked with couples, young people, children, individuals, and families. He offers face-to-face, telephone, or online sessions using an integrative approach that tailors the sessions to suit the client’s needs. His expertise spans a wide range of areas, including suicide and self-harm, depression and anxiety, trauma, abuse, ASD and self-identity work for example.

Counselling can be instrumental in helping you achieve your goals and objectives. It employs the use of SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) to make the process more impactful and goal-oriented. These goals guide and organise a person’s efforts, enabling them to reach their objectives efficiently. For instance, if your goal is to reduce anxiety, a measurable goal could be set, such as reducing the frequency of panic attacks by a certain percentage within a specified timeframe.

Counselling is not just about solving immediate problems; it also equips you with longer-term problem-solving skills. It encourages active engagement, where the client plays a significant role in their healing process. This active engagement extends beyond the counselling sessions and may involve tasks like reflection, implementing better practices for living, and psychoeducation.

In conclusion, counselling is a powerful tool that can support you in overcoming challenges, achieving your goals, and enhancing your overall well-being. Whether you’re dealing with mental health issues, relationship problems, or personal growth, a professional counsellor like Mervyn Reid can guide you on your journey towards healing and self-improvement.
