There are many misconceptions about therapy, but I think of it like this: you bring the things that are weighing on you, lay them out between us and, together, we’ll sort through them. Typically focusing on one issue at a time we will explore its many layers. Over time, we may uncover the underlying blocks that have been holding you back, preventing you from making the changes you desire in your life. Whether you’re facing a specific issue, feeling unhappy with your life at a more fundamental level, or seeking more meaning, I’m here to support you.

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. 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.    

Choosing to begin therapy is a meaningful step. It offers time to pause, reflect, and speak freely about your inner and outer world in a confidential space where you are truly listened to. My specialty is working with individuals looking for deeper meaning and possibility in their lives, perhaps questioning their sense of belonging and life choices. I welcome people from all walks of life, with a particular sensitivity to experiences of difference and otherness. Therapy can hold whatever feels important to you. Questions around identity, purpose, or direction can arise for anyone, regardless how you move through the world.
