Oh! Snap! We’re Thinking Alike In This Counselling Session

An image of identical twins representing that sometimes in Counselling we're both in an identical place

It's not often we find other people having exactly the same thoughts as us at the same time - almost as if we're psychically connected somehow...

And yet in Counselling, I find this happens quite often and it's probably not something mystical but rather quite explainable!

Part of my role as a Counsellor is to empathically try to feel what you're experiencing, to see the world through your eyes. Through active listening, that is, REALLY listening to what you're saying, I get a glimpse of what it is to be you. Not the full picture, but a glimmer, an echo...

Once embodied, that glimmer can offer insight into how your world is structured and the meaning you take from living inside it. Those insights often lead to similar conclusions and that's how it can appear that we're fully synchronised and thinking "as one".

And that's a pretty magical experience because we so often don't have that in our day to day lives. To truly share an understanding of something through your own perspective is exhilarating, liberating. To finally not have to conform to the understanding of others, just to be heard.

This is all made possible by the attention that I give to each and every one of my clients. You deserve nothing less.

With warmth,

James
