Individual Supportive Confidential Counselling

We provide a secure and supportive space along with a bespoke service to encourage you to speak freely about any issue. It does not matter how old or new the issues are, how trifling or distressing, how confusing, or mundane.

The idea of ISC Counselling is to build trusting relationships, so we can then work together, to explore and break down issues and struggles, to find different angles, approaches and strategies to deal with challenges and then to enable you to move on, with less stress and more insights. So you move forward to your own autonomy.

It is a fundamental and over arching belief of ISC Counselling that there are no lost causes, that human potential is limitless, that there is beauty and positive power in all of us. However through distress and complications this sense of potential can be lost, hidden and even fought against. In making time to work on yourself, to understand things like fear, shame, guilt, anxiety, depression, as well as a whole range of other trapping emotions, that this innate beauty and confidence can be found and connected to, to help power the best performing you, moving more freely in the world.

Taking Time to Listen to You With Empathy

It is like taking your car to the garage to have it checked and serviced, ICS Counselling, makes time to understand the problems and explore what is happening internally, to make emotional and relational repairs, so you can leave on a more confident and self assured journey.

I personally believe that people taking time out and investing in themselves, makes them more aware, self-assured, and able to deal with challenges. It also makes them less stressed, tired, confused, frustrated and defensive. This all goes to help build personal understanding, whereby relationships improve, as well as decision making along with many other other benefits.

About Me
Hi, I'm Russ, a trained professional counsellor. I am an integrative counsellor though lead with a human-centred approach. A human-centred approach means I take time to understand each person. Even though I have trained and practiced for several years I know that I am, in no way, an expert on another persons life. So in a safe space and through questions and active listening I build up a better understanding of each individual client. To help me do this I use three core conditions of empathy, positive support and authenticity.

What My Clients Say

"Russ was someone that I could talk to at ease, and was a great listener. He guided me to talk about situations that I had previously found difficult to address, allowing me to now move forward in my life. I would highly recommend Russ"

R. Ross On Wye

"Russ was one of the few people I could share my troubles with; the sense of loss I felt when my dad passed away. It was easier to bear with Russ’s support, and advice on how to focus on what I needed to do for myself, to help me grieve and recognise the pain I was feeling.”
