Counselling and stress management in Southampton
Creative CPD for therapists
Welcome
Healing possibilities
Hello and welcome to Goodwill Guidance.
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we just get stuck. Do any of these apply to you?
Feeling lost somehow.
Struggling with painful thoughts and emotions.
Generally OK but wanting to make more of life.
Whatever's brought you here, let's see if we can create positive change in your life and relationships through:
Talk and creative therapy: For gently untangling what you’re struggling with.
Gestalt Acu-balancing and/or Autogenic Therapy: Daily practices to help soothe and release stress, anxiety and more.
Strengths and/or career coaching: For helping you to find more direction and fulfilment.
‘The sense of lonely struggle
and imminent failure is replaced
with an experience of life as a
supported journey to mastery.’
Steve Biddulph
Based in a quiet location in Bitterne SO19, I see people from Southampton, Hampshire and other parts of the UK. There’s free parking and good train and bus services to my practice. I also offer video and phone appointments. This provides flexibility if you're local and overcomes travel issues if you live further afield.
I wish you well on your journey and I'm just a phone call or message away if you'd like a free, no obligation 20 minute conversation to find out more.

Hopeful words
Short and sweet feedback examples from some past counselling clients:
'You were flexible, understanding and patient.'
‘Really valued being able to explore and understand things more.’
‘The intensity of anger I was feeling has lessened significantly.’
'I can cope better even though life is still very stressful.'
'A valuable experience which was a great help to me.'
