Contact me at Wils@wilsstruthers-cooper.comIf you need a listening ear and someone to cheer your corner while providing proven strategies and techniques you can utilise in your everyday life, then drop me an email. We will organise a short discovery call where you can explain your concerns, and I will explore whether I can create a programme of support. If I feel that I'm not the right person for the job, I will do my best to signpost you to other professionals or services that may be a better fit.The programmes that I create are time limited and between 1-3 months in duration, depending on need. I will always meet my clients where they are at and allow their needs and wants to be at the forefront of our sessions.Please note that I am not a counsellor, therapist or psychologist. I am a highly skilled and experienced teacher with a wealth of training in mental health, wellbeing, mindfulness and self-compassion strategies that I use to create effective coaching programmes. I am not an alternative to a psychologist or counsellor for individuals with complex mental health needs, or trauma experiences. (In occasional circumstances I can act as a complementary support to a primary professional's work with the correct communication and supports in place.)Contact me on Wils@wilsstruthers-cooper.com to discuss your needs.If you, or a loved one, are currently in crisis, please seek support from the organisations listed in the Additional Resources section.
