Hello and Welcome to the Art of Self Counselling Service

I offer a safe place to discuss whatever problems are currently challenging
you. I can assure you that your issues will be treated with
confidentiality, sensitivity, compassion & respect.

My specialty is in facilitating rapid yet significant results for my clients,
most of whom achieve their counselling goals in 1 to 3 sessions.

You are welcome, of course, to engage in an extended therapeutic engagement
if you wish, but that is usually not necessary.

I am a skilled and qualified Counsellor, recognized by the relevant
governing bodies of psychology (CAPA & PACFA).

I have a wealth of experience with both Couples (Relationship)
and Individual Counselling, and also Men's work.

Below are some of the benefits which I have helped others
to achieve for themselves, and that I may be able to assist you with as well:

• The compassion & understanding required for Couples to find each other again at the Heart.
• A greater connection to the fullness and power that already resides in your natural self.
• Positive and constructive belief systems about yourself in order to help you to manifest a better life.
• An opportunity to become emotionally stronger, so that you can simply FEEL better.
• A capacity to master habit patterns that are causing problems in your life.
• A useful understanding of how all these elements interact with each other.
• The skill to focus your energies in order to create the kind of life that is in accord with your personal values. If you have spiritual principles or values that are the cornerstone of your life, they will be respected and can even be integrated into your own counselling process, if you wish.
• The capacity to develop a much greater love and compassion for yourself (and others), by virtue of the increased self-awareness, respect, and understanding that you have acquired.
• A greater respect and appreciation for the personal characteristics
  that have brought you as far as you have come in life.
• Greater strength and power by learning how to use masculine energy properly.

If you can entertain the notion that the natural state of a human being is happiness and well-being
(contrary to popular belief !) then you will appreciate that counselling, at its best,
is fundamentally not about helping to build a new and better "you",
or worse, resurrecting and blaming someone
or something from your past.

It is much more concerned with helping you learn how to locate, honour, respect
and have genuine love for your own true self.

Through a process of acknowledging, accepting and reconciling with our true self, we may
come to a place of peace and confidence. And in that disposition we may
find the power that was lost or is missing from our lives.

We then have a viable alternative to the feelings and thinking, patterns or habits, which
tended to disturb our natural health and integrity.

Call me to schedule either a session, or just a free 15 minute introductory meeting.

Below are a few comments from clients who have offerred their
appreciation for the assistance they have received:

I want to put forth a testimonial in gratitude...Brian has supported me warmly and strongly through some of the darkest times of my life. He is an inspiring mentor, who's authenticity instilled in me immediate trust. He has a wealth of insight and professional experience that he draws upon relevantly, with the intention to empower. If you're looking at getting real with yourself and enjoying the gift of high self maintenance, introduce yourself to Brian.

All I can say is that I had a sense of deep understanding on your part during the sessions, and that afterwards, I would be leaving with this very fresh and new look on my life. Thank you!
