Hi I'm Oli

In life we can find ourselves in situations or relationships, or with thoughts or behaviours that we find tough, emotionally speaking, to live with.

Counselling is about having a regular space in your life where you feel supported to explore yourself, to work through challenges, to find what’s meaningful, and ultimately help you deal with life.

I offer a space for you to explore your issues and experiences in a caring and supportive environment. To help you see things from new perspectives, discover new meanings, and build solutions to bring about positive change.

My approach

In my experience there is no one-size fits all with counselling. What works for one person may not work so well for another. I believe it’s important to adapt my approach to whoever I’m working with and I created the Freeform Method to enable me to do this. To find out more please visit olisylvester.com
