Centre for Ecotherapy - Current Projects
Personal Discovery consultations
The Centre is now offering one-to-one Personal Discovery ‘signposting’ sessions with experienced, personal consultants.
At times, all of us could do with a little extra help, a dedicated supporter who will listen and help you find the answers you need. Perhaps there is an issue that you cannot decipher, or a situation that is causing you undue stress. Perhaps you are considering changing direction in life but feel uncertain how to go forward, or there are barriers that you are unsure how to move through.
A Personal Discovery session could help you identify what is troubling you and help you find the right path. This could be to make an appointment with a health, counselling, educational or employment professional to make further inroads into the situation. Equally a session could simply help you find the confidence inside yourself to make the changes you know you need to make.
Our experienced consultants will help you make the right choice.
NB. It is important to note these are not counselling sessions, and should not be considered such, but they can help with identifying personal situations that are unclear or personal issues that may need further support.
Sessions take place outside at Stanmer Park and are confidential and informal. Sessions charged hourly; consideration for low income possible.
