Aman O'Connor

I am an Integrative Counsellor and have a broad range of experience working with clients including young people and adults. The approach I use allows me to move freely between modalities whilst adapting and bringing together relevant elements according to the individual needs and requirements. I believe the essence of my role as a counsellor is the therapeutic relationship between the client and me, developing a trusting relationship within the counselling session is essential.

I involve the use of empathy, a non-judgmental approach, and authenticity. This alongside confidentiality creates a safe environment in which both the client and I can work together.

I am also working within the education, and substance misuse sector, this has provided me with a broad client base and experience to draw upon.

Life could be simple and yet at times feels full of complexities and decisions.

You may struggle to negotiate and navigate some of the obstacles that may have been carried for many years some from your childhood and some seemingly created by ourselves, this can lead to feelings that we are unable to identify or able to work through.

Counselling can allow you to sit still, take stock and share your journey with someone who won't offer you another map with indecipherable directions, who won't give you advice or a solution.

Instead, I will bear witness to your search and steadfastly walk alongside your courage to a place of sanctity and peace, a place of feeling better in yourself, giving you an understanding of what was and what can be.
