The stories of our lives through the events and experiences, wanted and unwanted, that happen around us and to us, are the keys to our present-day ways of being. Our approaches, responses and understandings are based on these stories. These stories, and our formed views of those, are called narratives, and these narratives are both powerful and influential in wanted, and unwanted ways.
I am interested in the stories of your life and your formed Attachment Styles which started at birth through to childhood and into adulthood, and what is happening in your life now, which at times is unwelcomed, unwanted and disruptive.
The space I offer within the counselling setting is a space to find meaning, make sense of, and gain understanding of these Attachment Styles and the unwanted narratives, and to find new and more preferred narratives and to rewrite our life scripts in ways that work for us.
I have a passion for walking alongside people whether individually or as a couple and to support them in navigating through life’s challenges. I consider it a privilege to share a welcoming and safe space with them.
I am a husband, father, stepdad, grandfather, brother and friend.
My name is Francois Sylvester and I am known as the Barefoot Counsellor.
