Person Centred Counsellor

My name is Sylvia Friend and I would like to invite you to meet online in the comfort of your own home I can create a warm. friendly space to talk about what ever may be worrying you.  There may be times when we feel lonely and isolated and overwhelmed with worries. Those closest to us may not be the help we need and can at times add to the problem.  

I see you as an individual and as such the interactive approach is tailored to your need. I will help you to access your own inner process and bring about a deeper understanding of yourself.

We all experience difficult times in our lives. For some it can be a crisis, for others life can feel like an ongoing struggle and lack meaning.

I would like to assist you in bringing about the changes  you would like to make. And support and encourage you to manage life’s challenges. I can help you gain confidence and move towards your real potential.

Health and Well-being

For more than 25 years I have been involved in personal growth, health and well being.  Looking experientially at the mind body connection and the way in which it impacts our lives. The patterns, memories and habits stored in the mind/body which prevent us from being who we truly are.

My personal and main practice is Hua Gong a form of Qigong.  I am a teacher of this method and a practitioner for  more than  25 years.  The practice is an enabler. A way to connect to the universal energy known as Qi.  The way of teaching is through an energy or Qi transmission.  This may be through physical movements, meditation, verbal communication and demonstration. Through the energy transmission your own Qi (pronounced chi) is activated to enable your own process. The benefits apart from improving ones health include unlocking artistic potentials and aiding spiritual growth to live more fully.   By practising it helps to bring about transformations and move through problems.  Helping to see and transform both inner and outer challenges with greater understanding and clarity.
