Welcome to Vivian Baruch's website
Here you'll find information on the professional counselling, therapy, coaching and supervision I offer for individuals and couples, in addition to personal details which may assist you in choosing to work with me. Working with an accredited professional counsellor provides guidance, facilitation and support for the changes you seek.
Since 1981 I have counselled a wide range of people from diverse backgrounds. This enables me to offer a safe, therapeutic environment in which we jointly explore ways for you to deal with the life situations we all face as human beings.
My aim is to help you find resolutions which fit for you.
I openly discuss your expectations and goals, so that I can support you in finding your own methods for bringing about the changes you desire.
My goal for you is stable, long term change rather than a short term fix.
I am also available to provide supervision for counsellors and therapists, using the same methods described below.
I focus on being:
- Client Directed - I follow your lead in what you hope to get out of our work together
- Outcome Informed - I ask for your assessment at the start of every session as to whether you have experienced an improvement since our previous appointment
- Alliance Focused - my priority is to continually enhance the quality of our working relationship. I do so by asking you to complete a short written feedback sheet at the end of each session on how you experienced that session
- Discovery Oriented - I work collaboratively with you to discover how we can find the best outcomes for you.
