When my work with a client comes to an end, I ask them:
What 3 words would you use to describe the benefits you received from working together?
Below are the words that are shared with me. The most frequent benefits that clients experience in working together are: COURAGE, CLARITY, INSIGHT and CONFIDENCE. If you are struggling to find those elements by yourself, we will find them together.

Courage
“This could also be replaced with self-belief. You helped me own my future, and step up to things like it was my responsibility to change the way things were going, because as an adult nobody else is going to believe in you if you don’t believe in yourself.”
Insights
“You helped me look into things in a new way, seeing connections I hadn’t seen before. I found it invaluable going into such depth on some things like values that are typically handled so superficially.”
Self Awareness
“This has developed considerably in such a short space of time. I am starting to recognise behaviours that I can address.”
Confidence
“The ability to reframe a belief – a lot of our discussions centred around confidence. Our conversations have sparked an interest in reframing an ‘idea’ e.g. how can I turn this around, what is possible?”
Acceptance
“I felt valued throughout our sessions. I was able to use the time to reflect on how I react in certain situations. You were able to accept this and challenge me to think of a way forward or how I could react differently. “Feel the fear and do it anyway” style!”
Counselling
“You are a fantastic listener and guided me through some very difficult emotions and experiences when I truly needed it – and without judgement to boot. It really helped me feel like someone cared, which meant a lot to me.”
