What is ‘Personal Potential’

 

Personal Potential is a comprehensive counselling service operated by Carl Stonier and is devoted to helping every individual to achieve his or her own potential. In other words, to be everything that it is possible for that person to be, actualised, fulfilled and happy. 

 

Where

 

Personal Potential is based in the UK at Crowle, North Lincolnshire which is located between Scunthorpe to the east and Doncaster to the west. We also have contacts with, and weekly visits to Hull in East Yorkshire and the Pontefract and Castleford area of West Yorkshire.

 

Style of Counselling

 

Primarily Person Centred, which is the type of Humanistic therapy developed by the late Carl Rogers, but where it is felt to be appropriate, may use other approaches including guided imagery, hypnotherapy, art therapy, transactional analysis and past life regression therapy.

Basically, anything which may cause distress to the individual including relationship difficulties/breakdown; bereavement; survival of abusive (any kind of abuse) childhood; post traumatic stress; phobias; anxiety; obsessive compulsive problems; depression; dissatisfaction with life/feeling unfulfilled; feeling ‘stressed’ and unable to cope.
