Growing Deeper Counselling
Trees, as with all nature, begin in relationship. The sun, the air, and the rain provide food and nutrients for trees to grow, live and thrive. And it is not just the more obvious relationships, but also the hidden, underground relationships that provide the support and pathways for the growth and development in trees. In a similar way, counselling begins in relationship. A cooperative, collaborative relationship between the client(s) and counsellor becomes a source of support and a place to discover pathways for growth and development.
