Val Hayes, Counsellor, Therapist, Coach and Clinical Supervisor

 

Until you make the unconscious, conscious – it will rule your life and you will call it fate.
– Carl Jung

 

I work with couples and individuals.  Couples work has lighted my passion recently as I embark on another course of learning, this time with The Couples Institute on the Developmental Model which seems to fill the gaps that some other modalities leave.

This and other modalities I like, lead to getting traction rapidly by identifying issues and collaborating on what it is client’s want and need to grow in themselves to reach their ever-growing potential.

My job is to facilitate YOUR deeper knowing to be available for your personal development, regardless of the presenting issue.  Even in grief and loss, there is an opportunity for growth as well as the need to be held lovingly until the pain subsides.

FAQs

Q How many sessions will it take to overcome my problem?

Together we put together and agree plan that works. I fit the tools and resources available to the client and their unique situation.

Q Do you do XYZ therapy model?

Over 20 years of practice, I have built many resources and studied many modalities although not all formally. Let's meet to discuss what it is you most need to gain from sessions and decide if we are a good fit.

Q This one is not overtly asked; Will you really see me, hear me, care for me, understand me or judge me?

I will attune and empathise and validate you. I will not judge you...even if that has been your experience in the past. I endeavour to see life from your perspective.
