What is it like to have a session with George?
Listening: I track with clients. I proved a safe space for them to express who they are. I provide a safe place for clients to find their voice, to discover and express their identity. I provide a secure place for clients who are confused about their lives and feel like they are in a nervous breakdown. Love: Clients often say that the most helpful aspect of sessions with me is love. Why is that? I explain it like this: 1. I put all me effort into listening to and understanding my client. I do that in every session. 2. I convey respect for people and treat them fairly. 3. I have shed any tendency to judge, or be superior to others. 4. I have no need to control others, tell them what they should do or to prescribe their life choices. Spiritual Guidance: My therapy includes the element of one's relationship with God. At times we deal with guilt and forgiveness. Your relationship with God expressed in your way and on Respect for your religious feelings and beliefs. Your feelings about God can always be put on the table in a session with me without experiencing any religious attitude and moral superiority from me. I am always and consistently your therapist. I am not in the role of priest or pastor. Nothing ever contradicts my love, respect, listening and understanding of you as my client.your terms. Christian Counsellor: I am a different kind of Christian. I have shed much of my 'church' doctrine or denominational identity. I identify as Christian because of a deep interest, respect and life commitment to Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life but in a non-religious way. I do not look for simple formula answers in the Bible. I study the Bible to know Jesus, his principles and his life. Sense of Humour: Yes sessions with George do at times involve laughter.
