FOREST OF THE MIND
A safe and supportive space for you to explore and grow
About Forest of the Mind Counselling Hereford
Our Philosophy
At Forest of the Mind Counselling Hereford, we believe that you are the best expert on your own life—and that, given the right support, you can find your own answers, healing, and direction. This approach is known as Person-Centred Counselling, a type of talking therapy that puts you at the centre of the process. Person-centred Counselling was developed by psychologist Carl Rogers and is widely used in counselling today.
Our counselling services are designed to help you unlock your potential and achieve your goals.
People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.
Carl Rogers
