Individual Counselling

A space for clarity, emotional-wellbeing, and meaningful personal growth.

What Individual Counselling Is

Individual counselling offers a supportive space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of what’s happening within you and around you. Through gentle exploration and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, counselling helps you understand your emotions, patterns, and inner world — and builds the capacity to respond to life with greater clarity and groundedness.

It is not about “fixing” you. It is about reconnecting with yourself, feeling supported, and finding ways to move forward that feel aligned, compassionate, and sustainable.

People seek therapy for many reasons — some know exactly what feels difficult, while others simply feel “not themselves,” lost, or overwhelmed. Counselling offers a safe container to process what you’re carrying.

Counselling with Scarlette

With a background in psychology, counselling, and restorative yoga, my work emphasises connection — to yourself, to others, and to what you value.
You can expect a grounded, relational experience shaped by:

• Evidence-based psychotherapy such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy
• A person-centred and humanistic approach
• Somatic awareness to support emotional regulation
• Mindful reflection to deepen clarity

Together, we explore your experiences with curiosity rather than judgment, helping you feel more understood, supported, and empowered.

What to Expect in a Session

• A warm, safe, and confidential therapeutic space
• Time to explore what you’re carrying emotionally
• Guidance in understanding your patterns and needs
• Practical tools for emotional wellbeing
• A pace that honours your readiness and capacity

Reaching out for support is a meaningful act of care. Individual counselling offers a space to understand yourself more deeply, ease what feels heavy, and move toward a life that feels more grounded and aligned.
