Counselling Services
It is a common misconception that counsellors give advice. This is not the case. Instead they support, guide and help you develop life skills. Butterfly Effect Counselling will be there to walk along beside you and encourage you. They will not make decisions for you, but instead help you reach a place where you can make those decisions. Via discussion and use of specific techniques we will guide you through an exploration of your feelings, experiences and options. We will try to remove any confusion surrounding your life and present you with the tools to make the changes that are right for you, if you wish to do so.

Butterfly Effect Counselling provides a safe, comfortable, non-judgemental and supportive environment for you to express your feelings. Together we will work out your specific needs and goals so that we can celebrate when you reach your milestones along the way. Remember, it all starts with a small change. So strive for success and contact us today.
