My approach: a compassionate journey with you

At KJ Williams Counselling, my focus is always on you. I believe that true healing and growth stem from a genuine, empathetic connection. Here, you'll find a space where you are deeply heard, understood, and truly valued, moving towards change at your own unique pace.

A unique path to understanding

Unlike approaches that focus solely on techniques, I prioritise the therapeutic relationship. My role isn't to 'fix' or direct you, but to offer a truly authentic, accepting, and empathetic space. Through trust, genuine connection, and unconditional positive regard, you are supported to understand yourself better and move towards personal growth and change, entirely at your own pace.

Supporting you through life's shifts

I typically support individuals navigating various forms of loss – whether it's the profound impact of bereavement, the end of a significant relationship, or the feeling of being overwhelmed by a change in life stage. Becoming a parent, retiring, going through a divorce, or approaching menopause are all examples of significant transitions that can bring a sense of loss and a feeling of being 'lost' as to who you are. The anxiety often associated with these changes can feel like a fear with no clear direction. Connecting with these emotions is often the first step towards understanding and processing this overwhelm of feelings.

Your journey, at your pace

Your first step can be a free, initial 10-minute phone call. This allows us to introduce ourselves and discuss what you hope to gain from counselling, or simply to acknowledge if you're not yet sure – that’s perfectly fine. If you decide to proceed, we’ll schedule sessions that move at your comfort. It’s natural to feel nervous initially, and I’ll do my utmost to ease any unease. Our first session will focus on building a therapeutic connection, ensuring you feel comfortable in this space. I’ll also carefully explain all contract details, outlining my role, what I offer, and the ethical principles in place to protect your safety and well-being. I check in with you regularly, valuing your unique qualities and ensuring you always feel heard, your voice and feelings validated, as I support you every step of the way.
