Glen Gibson

In my London counselling practice I offer fresh insight in an affirming, supportive and jargon-free way, checking with you if what I'm saying, resonates and fits. Having an impartial perspective in the counselling I usually work both intuitively and with knowledge, experience, understanding of what brings you to counselling. I recognise people can't simply be reduced down to a label, diagnosis, symptoms or issues. Viewing the online counselling as a joint exploration, I value the humanity in us all and acknowledge our own resources, qualities and strengths alongside our frailties, limitations and vulnerabilities. Initial In-Person Or Online Counselling Meeting In the beginning my role as a counsellor is to get to know you, understand who you are, listen why you have come, why you are the way you are, what it feels like to be you, what you might need, maybe things you haven't considered. I usually ask a lot of questions to find out about you now and what brings you to online counselling or in-person, a little about your past and the different strands of your life, to piece these strengths together, understand how multiple factors might be connected, find out how counselling can help alongside considering not only any underlying issues but also how you may want to navigate through any difficulties, live your life to your full potential. In the online or in-person counselling I value each person's uniqueness and respond in an individual way to your circumstances, and at the same time appreciate the interconnectedness of what we human beings hold in common - that beneath our differences are fundamental shared experiences and central concepts, that creativity, the human heart and suffering are universal.
