How to set and reach your goals | Counseling and Therapy
I believe that the most valuable skill a therapist can have is to listen to what a person's conscious and unconscious mind really wants, and then to mirror that back to them.  This is what goal setting is based upon.

No two people set goals the same way.  Some prefer talking and feedback.  Others use art, mind mapping, meditation or contemplation.  Still others like structured homework and "fieldwork" assignments.  I will work with you to make sure the style we use is the one that makes goal setting accessible to you.

Reaching goals is about getting what you want.  The test of whether you have reached your goals is whether the result is as good as or even better than what you had planned for yourself.  We consciously set our goals, but reaching them is a synthesis of our written and spoken goals, our unconscious goals, and the circumstances within which you find yourself.
