KIRTI JOSHI
Welcome to KPJ.
My decision to train and become a qualified counsellor in 2006 sparked after accessing counselling to overcome my own life challenges. At the time I felt stuck, confused and lonely - but with help from my fantastic counsellor, I was able to move forward positively - realising that I am the author of my life and only I can change my story. You too are the author of your story and the vehicle in your journey.
Life can at times feel like a burden but with the right counsellor and support, you can begin to lessen that burden and see a clearer, more uplifting road ahead.
Counselling is not an easy journey and I will make it as comfortable as possible for you by going at a pace that feels right for you.
The model below is a basis to develop your understanding of what counselling is about. A good level of commitment and dedication will be needed for us to work together effectively:
Domain of Exploration
Domain of Awareness and Understanding
Domain of Production
Enabling Change
In my 14 years working as a counsellor, I have learned 3 key lessons working with people from various walks of life:
1 - It starts with the desire for change. By coming to this site, a part of you has already overcome a great challenge in deciding to seek out support.
2 - The journey of self discovery is an ongoing process. Counselling assists people from all walks of life as a way to have increased awareness, support individuals and couples to develop deeper understanding of themselves and enable them to facilitate the realistic changes they require.
3 - There is no quick fix in counselling. Counselling requires commitment and dedication. As primal beings it takes time to train our minds to understand this.
Counselling will offer the space to access the support and tools that will help you develop personal skills. The only way is up!
At KPJ, I offer a safe, compassionate, non-judgemental, private and confidential space where we can explore how you think and live with your emotions. We can look at your relationships and the way in which you relate to others, we will consider how you communicate and the outcomes this creates. As your awareness builds you process!
Lets put some colour back into your journey!
