ISC Counselling is a compassionate mental health service dedicated to helping individuals cope with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, difficult relationships, identity, abuse, and many other issues.

This is a tough question to answer. I generally say it doesn’t matter how big or small the issues are, but with an extra pair of ears and an opportunity to talk through issues big differences can be made. In my opinion it is better to talk abut issues earlier rather than later, so things can be understood and dealt with more proactively rather than reactively. I am here to help you navigate challenges and support your mental well-being.

Confidentiality and client welfare are top priorities at ISC Counselling. Your sessions are private, your personal information remains confidential and I adhere to ethical guidelines

To schedule an appointment, you can reach out to me through our website, call me, or send an email. I will assist you in finding a suitable time for our no obligation free call.

Sometimes in life we find ourselves wearing masks, by this I mean putting on a front to deal with different circumstances and relationships. This may be a strategy to deal with work, or family members, or to make relationships work more smoothly.

Sometimes people wear masks for years, they could have been developed as a coping strategy from a young age, or pleasing care-givers or pivotal people. People put on different faces in-order to do what they have to do, to deal with differing scenarios.

Again there is nothing wrong in wearing masks on times. However the issue arrises if you become lost in these different personas. The authentic you, a deeper more connected you, that is more self assured, and more focused on your own values, and what you can give to the world, rather than trying to fit into obscure rules or roles that have been bestowed on you.

The authentic you may involve being vulnerable, honest and responsible, however it is where the best performing you lies and where you can have the best positive energy and impact in the world

The therapeutic relationship is the relationship between the therapist and the client. It is all about building trust. Trust and feeling secure is fundamental, as the therapeutic process is about dealing with adverse experiences, fear, vulnerabilities, worries, doubts and more. Often times when people come to therapy they say that this is the first time that they have spoken about such an issue in detail. The therapeutic relationship is about trust and being able to feel vulnerable to get to these issues. The issues need to be bought into the light and understood and dealt with, instead of swept under the carpet, dismissed, or bottled up. The only way that this can occur is in a trusting therapeutic relationship.
