I am Stephen McFarland and I got the name Inspired Counselling, after being inspired to train as a counsellor. I have worked alongside many people and now I would like to inspire you to be the best you can be.
Counselling with me is in an integrative way, with psychodynamic counselling at its core, which means we will look into the roots of your problems, therefore dealing with any issues, NOT just finding a way to cope with them. Make peace with the past in your mind, to live in peace in this moment, and look forward with confidence. I will walk beside you and give you 100% in each session, it is the way I am. Mindfulness is incorporated if you wish, to enable you to sit with your feelings, and in time, watch the feelings you do not want drift away.
Counselling with me allows you to take time out from this crazy and fast paced world, to sit and think, cry, shout, whatever you need to do, in a discreet, safe, confidential, warm and friendly environment. Everything we do will be at your pace, and your style, for you. My main focus is that through this relationship, we can work together towards your inner healing, in a relaxed and safe environment with confidence.
I also enjoy having students who are completing the counselling training. I offer a reduced rate as I know how expensive the course can be.
I am a registered member of BACP, and accredited with NCS, both of which ensure you that my counselling practice is of a very high standard. Thank you for taking the time to read about my counselling style, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Stephen.
