If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies.
I am Renee McDonald, the Director and Counsellor of Butterfly Courage. If you have a relationship or life problem, I may be able to help.
I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I am not a practicing psychologist. The main difference is that I work with people on their life problems and issues. Psychologists assist with mental health problems and look at a client from a more healthcare and medical model. I perceive my counselling and psychotherapy as being a more holistic approach to life.
Rapport means a great deal in counselling and the helping professions. I offer warmth, compassion, care and life experience. I am not somebody who has just had life experience out of a book.
Generally, the aim of counselling is to develop insight. It empowers people with their life choices. Butterfly Courage offers a low cost, professional counsellingservice for a large range of difficulties or problems. All counsellingwith Butterfly Courage takes place in a supportive, compassionate and non-threatening environment.
