Prue Turner – Counsellor, Couples Therapist

Professional counselling services for individuals and couples

‘It is not about trying harder.
Softness opens doors that force cannot move’

I am passionate about supporting people achieving greater happiness, self-fulfillment and positive health outcomes.

Having a safe space to share your worries and learn new tools can be hugely beneficial. And I personally was able to make dramatic changes in my life as a result of the non-judgmental, empathetic support I received during my own Counselling journey when I felt “stuck.”

Sometimes we hold the answers within us and just need some scaffolding and support to guide us through.

Couples Counselling

Every couple, even those in solid and healthy partnerships, encounters routine challenges related to topics like finances, in-laws, monotony, children, household chores, time management, and balancing work and life.

Couples therapy offers a secure environment to tackle these everyday issues. I use a goals-based method and serve as an impartial, non-judgmental facilitator to ensure discussions remain focused, respectful, and composed. Discussion begins around the key issues and objectives giving everyone in the room sufficient space to communicate freely.

Individual Counselling

I am trained in Person-centred therapy which emphasises the client’s perspective and self-discovery.

A safe, secure and non-judgmental environment  is provided for you to explore your experiences, thoughts and feelings.  By listening empathetically I provoke thought around therapeutic goals facilitating self-awareness and personal growth.
