About Me
The Power of Connection
I believe that the core of healing lies in our ability to connect—with ourselves and with others. At A Carruthers Counselling & Supervision, I provide a safe, warm, and inviting space to explore these connections, helping you navigate life's challenges with support and understanding.
Counselling is a collaborative professional relationship that empowers individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings in a confidential setting. It provides a structured space to gain perspective, process experiences, and develop tools for emotional resilience and positive change.

My Core Principles
Counselling is a collaborative and professional space where adults can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. It provides a vital opportunity to reflect on life's challenges, navigate emotional transitions, and foster the inner connection needed for lasting personal growth.
Confidentiality & Its Limits
Your safety and privacy are fundamental to our therapeutic relationship. Maintaining a secure and reassuring space allows for the depth of connection needed for healing and growth.
There may be times when I have an ethical obligation to share information.
- Risk of serious harm to yourself or others
- Safeguarding requirements for Children or Adults at risk
- Legal requirements
I am committed to transparency; please feel free to ask any questions regarding confidentiality at any point during our work together.
