Encouraging and empathic counselling

Your Story Is Worth Hearing

As a counsellor, this is the core foundation I bring into each session. Change only occurs when you are understood. No one can just ‘fix’ you because you’re not an object! You are complex and worth knowing deeply.

I want to listen and understand your story so that your journey through life is accompanied by someone who genuinely cares and helps you strive for a whole-hearted life.

I take what feels like a mountain, and together, we break it down step by step with patience and compassion. Each step you take has purpose and meaning, proving you can overcome the mountains in your life.

Who is Story Counselling?

My name is Tim. I am a trained and certified counsellor with extensive experience in improving mental health, resolving conflicts, and developing vulnerable and empathic communities. My background of work extends through workplaces and leadership roles, volunteer groups and events, to working one on one with individuals in crisis.

My counselling style encompasses a holistic approach to life in which I aim to assist you to not only heal and overcome difficulty, but also to help you develop healthy thriving and find deeper purpose in your everyday.

I aim for all areas of your life to be positively impacted by your progress, so that not only are you thinking and feeling better, but you’re also empowered to make personalised and practical choices towards a better you. With care and professionalism, I also navigate how you can involve those you trust on your journey to develop a compassionate community around you.

Testimonials

Kate

“My sessions with Tim are the conversations I cannot have anyone else. Tim is always focused and present, listening closely, which means to me that he genuinely cares. I think that's just very very rare and therapeutic in itself.”

Alex

“Tim and I got along straight away due to his understanding of human nature and mindsets. He has genuinely helped me find healthy coping mechanisms for Bipolar and PTSD that have laid groundwork for a better mindset. I’ve seen over 20 different therapists, but none of them stuck. The difference with Tim is that instead of asking the obvious, he turns everything into a conversation with a high skill of perception. It’s been the best therapy I’ve had hands down.”
