Chanel St Louis

I offer counselling sessions online and by telephone, providing a safe, confidential and supportive space where you can talk openly from the comfort of your own surroundings.

Appointments are available during evenings, weekends and selected weekdays, offering flexibility to fit around your work, family and other commitments.

As an Integrative Counsellor, I believe that therapy should be as individual as you are. I draw on different therapeutic approaches to tailor our sessions to your needs, experiences and goals.

My approach is warm, genuine and down-to-earth. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, valued and understood.

You don't need to know where to start or have the right words. We can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences together, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I'm here to support you as we explore your thoughts and feelings together, helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, recognise your strengths and find a way forward that feels right for you.

Above all, I believe in building a trusting therapeutic relationship where you can feel comfortable being yourself.

My Practise name "Auraya" was inspired by the idea of your aura : the unique qualities that make you who you are — and finding your own "ray of light". I believe that we all have something unique within us, but sometimes life's experiences can make it difficult to recognise our own strengths or feel connected to ourselves.

I created Auraya Counselling to offer a space where you can take time for yourself, feel truly listened to and focus on what matters to you.

Maybe you're someone who always puts others first, who's there for everyone else but rarely has someone there to listen to you. But you matter too, and your feelings and needs are just as important.

It's important to me that you feel comfortable being yourself, knowing that you're talking to a real person who genuinely cares and understands that life isn't always straightforward. You don't need to put on a brave face, have everything figured out or worry about saying the wrong thing. You can simply come as you are.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with life's challenges or just need somewhere to be heard, I'm here to support you.

I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation, giving us the opportunity to have an informal chat, answer any questions you may have and see whether I'm the right counsellor for you.

**Auraya Counselling — A space to be heard, a place to be you.**

Your first session is offered at a reduced rate, giving you the opportunity to see how counselling feels and whether working together is right for you. Concessionary rates are also available to help make counselling more accessible.
