My name is Kim and I am a Person-centred Counsellor who works with both individuals and with relationships. As well as working in my private practice, I also work with clients as a counsellor with Counselling Care Skye & Lochalsh and as an Associate Counsellor with UHI Inverness College. I am a registered member of both COSCA and the BACP. As a person centred counsellor, this means I work within the principles of providing a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space where I can support you while you talk about any worries, stresses or anxieties that are affecting your day-to-day life.
I do not offer my own opinions or judge, but instead, strive to understand your individual situation and experiences with empathic warmth and caring. No one knows you as you know yourself, you are your own expert and my role is to be your caring and supportive companion through your explorations, reflections, and discoveries, as I help and support you tofind your own answers, as you move towards new personal growth and any changes you wish to make. I am passionate about offering an inclusive space for all individuals and relationship constellations as I want my clients to feel they have a space to have their voice heard and their personal experiences understood and respected as just that...theirs! I relish the nature of each of us as individuals in this life and each experience being different for each of us even with similar worries, issues and concerns. I aim to offer space for that individuality, while supporting you through your worries and issues.
Counselling can be a new and at times daunting experience, with some clients speaking their truth or feeling understood for the very first time. Self-exploration and the discoveries within can be an unsettling process at times and so I offer the beautiful sounds and vibrations of the Peter Hess Sound Massage Therapy Bowls as an optional element of my counselling sessions.
The Sounds and vibrations produced by these specially engineered therapy-grade singing bowls help to invoke feelings of peace and relaxation, which can help facilitate a calmer, more fulfilling, and productive session. The bowls can be used however the client wants during a session, such as at the start and end, throughout the session, or in a longer relaxation at the end after the talking therapy element. This all happens in a longer 90-minute session.
I am very proud to be able to offer this wonderful therapy to my counselling clients, as the only practitioner of Peter Hess Sound Massage in the Highland and Islands, with Safe & Sound Counselling being the only counselling practice offering my blended approach using this additional therapeutic element to my client work.
If you would like to know how I may be able to help you or for more information then please don't hesitate to call me, or visit my website and leave an enquiry and I will contact you as soon as possible.
