What is Counselling?

The main aim is to provide a professional service where a client feels safe to speak about their problems, concerns, worries or issues in a trusting, safe, non-judgemental and supportive environment. This helps the client to work through their emotions/issues and begin making positive changes in their life.

The counsellor’s role is to use effective listening while being respectful, non-judgemental, patient and empathetic to the client while they share their problems/issues. The counsellor is there to offer guidance to the client to help them use their own abilities in a focused manner to begin resolving their own problems.

Counselling also helps the client begin to fill their potential in more than just one area in their life. For example, once one problem has been resolved then it allows other areas in their life to begin to flourish. (If the issue is confidence then once the client builds a higher level of confidence then it may also help them in varying relationships.

Julie O’Brien

Poli is truly a gifted and extraordinary visionary. Her humble character truly is an outstanding quality. Poli has a unique approach of being able to pinpoint the problem quickly and lead the individual to clarity and deep awareness. My personal experience has been enlightening and enabled me to shift through deep emotional blocks quickly. I rarely use the word Guru, yet in this case I would describe Poli as an enlightened Guru of soul blueprints, who truly is servants heart for those seeking deep insights and emotional healing.

	I have really appreciated Poli’s guidance over the last few months which has allowed me to make positive changes in my life and mindset. She intuitively knows when to say the right thing and also to challenge you in a kind and respectful manner. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to make changes toward living a more authentic life.

From the very bottom of my heart, with infinite gratitude, always- T x

I have been searching for years for a genuine counsellor that has the knowledge and expertise that Poli has. She is as genuine as they come, tells it as is it and has the knowledge to back it up while still remaining caring and compassionate. I feel very lucky to have been supported by Poli at a time when it made a world of difference. I feel like I owe her so much. Thank you for everything Poli, your support has meant more than you will ever know. We need more people like this in the world.

	Ruby Robertson
	After years of talking therapy, with not many results, Poli was recommended to me. She has an ability to empathise like no professional I have met, which did finally produce results.

	Emily Orcullo
	I had the opportunity to do peer coaching with Poli and she truly comes with a wealth of experience in this space. She is a highly intuitive coach, she can draw out what is underlying behind the problem. Thank you, Poli!

Bron.e

Poli’s extensive knowledge, experience, care and compassion are the gifts she brings to every session where she gently guides me to explore and question things that are challenging me or holding me back. For me, each session builds on the last and I feel so privileged to have found Poli to help me become the best version of myself. I can’t thank you enough Poli for everything you do and all that you are. 🌻

Laudie Lambert

I have known Poli for many years and without a doubt, she has helped me in my darkest hours!

She is warm, caring and very in tune with what triggers anxiety and panic attacks, and to this day, cannot thank her enough!
I have seen many professionals, before being introduced to Poli, without any success for my anxiety, but after a few sessions, I am much more in control with my problems!

I highly recommend Poli and am positive you will be more than satisfied with your consultation and communication with her!

Bevan East

I’ve been a patient here for a few years, particularly of the psychology department with Poli. To say I have found it extremely beneficial is an understatement. I have developed skills and an understanding of myself that is difficult to describe. But has had a monumental impact on my life. Starting out with high levels of anxiety and depression, my ability to control my emotions and harness abilities more effectively has seen positive aspects in my social life, relationships, work life and studies. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to solve their problems, improve their life and or more effectively and efficiently communicate.
