I'm so glad you’re here!

People come to counselling for many different reasons, and for a lot of us it’s a scary step. It can mean admitting that we are sad, or stuck, or that something has to change. But it’s also a brave and hopeful step. For whatever reason you have ended up on my website today, I hope that I can be of service to you in this next part of your journey.

My name is Slate Powell, and I am an integrative counsellor. I offer online counselling for people who want things in their life to be different. Here are some of the reasons why you might be seeking help:

Depression and low mood
Anxiety
Low self esteem and self-confidence
Bereavement and grief
Relationships with family, friends or colleagues
Relationships with romantic partners
Facing major life changes
Navigating chronic illness
Feeling lost, directionless or adrift
Historic abuse of any kind
Making difficult decisions
Wanting to talk about gender, sexuality, or identity in a safe place
Self-exploration and reflection
Learning from past experiences
Just wanting to feel happier

My aim is to offer you a warm, gentle, and authentic presence, so you can tell your story and be truly heard. A place where you feel supported to explore your thoughts and feelings. A time that is just for you and your needs and hopes.

I am thankful that you have come here today, and I hope to get to know you better.
