Welcome to
Lantern and Stave Counselling

A place that welcomes adults from all walks of life to come and just be. I would like to provide a place for people to feel comfortable to be themselves, to be supported, to have someone to lean on and to be able to shine a light in their darkest moments. I have seen many people not able to get the help they need due to barriers such as location, disabilities, busy schedules, affordability, long wait times and so on. I believe that help starts with the individual and strengthens with relationships and community. Life is challenging enough and the absence of community adds an extra level of stress. Respect and honesty are important for a healthy relationship. Lets work together to fix it.

 

I offer individual telephone counselling service for adults. My approach is to have conversations, to listen and to be someone to lean on. I would like to be there for people. To help and support those who need someone to talk to and to walk with them through stressful times. I believe to truly help someone, a relationship needs to be formed. One that is compassionate, understanding, sympathetic, respectful and honest. My aim is to offer an inclusive place that respects and appreciates individuals for who they are. Over time, it is my hope to assist in resolving issues by helping others to regain a sense of hope and meaning as well as strengthen personal relationships, a sense of belonging and community.

 

This is a counselling service. I do not offer therapy, programs or treatment instead I provide a simpler traditional approach. As such this is not a place for those with more serious or immediate issues. I also do not offer emergency service, please seek the appropriate services.
