Sessions are payable in advance, via bank transfer, or at the beginning of the session if we meet in person.
Cash or cheques are accepted, but not debit or credit cards.

Q&A
Get to Know DwellingSpace Counselling
What is your favourite treatment and why?
Nora can work with you as your counsellor, but there are other ways that we can work together, for example, in a more coaching style - eg exploring a specific goal you would like to achieve (eg overcoming a block) or via guided Focusing (somewhat like meditation but turning your attention to your experience in the current moment. Focusing can be a profound deep change process for many.
Clean Language coaching is another fascinating approach where metaphors and sometimes imagery come as part of a guided process which brings answers to desired outcomes.
