I often work with clients who have been victimised to one degree or another.

Here is a Counselling conversation we always go into the needed empathy and the being with the pain of what has taken place.

This is essential to know someone is there for us and to feel validated so we are then able to move and make some new decisions.

Mixed in with this too in a more Coaching type of conversation it’s really important to examine what the beliefs are which we may have taken on board through whatever took place?

A common one is ‘not good enough’, which is the root of codependence and shame.Here we can mix Counselling and Coaching by getting the empathy and also work to take radical responsibility for the message and therefore story we are choosing to live by and rip it out and put in a new one.
