How I work as an online counsellor
Going for counselling is never easy. For some, it may feel as though it is allowing people to pry into ‘their business!’ Perhaps the testimonials I have received will be an encouragement to help you venture into counselling as you read them.
My approach to counselling
My approach is based on Carl Rogers’ Person Centred Therapy (PCT) on the premise that: everyone has the internal resources for growth and an underlying instinct to fulfil his or her inherent potential, that self-regard is a basic human need, and people are motivated to seek the truth. Knowing the "real self" is often lost at the expense of own self-concept or self-image which may have become heavily dependent on the attitudes of others in terms of how people perceive them.
As a therapist it is important to remember these three pre-requisites:
- Genuineness or Congruence: To be real and willing to share experiences when appropriate – I don’t believe in playing games.
- Total Acceptance means I show unconditional positive regard without being judgemental.
- Empathy in that I try to place myself in the other person’s shoes to know what it really feels like being in "their" world!
There is also my mentoring program that brings light to:
- Where you are now
- Where you want to be in the future
- How to get there

Hear Modern Hymns By Neil S on SoundCloud. Hi, my name is Neil, and I have Asperger’s as well as PTSD and chronic illness that causes pain. As I endure these illnesses, I think about how the Lord has been with me since I was four years old. And has blessed me with the ability to write songs for Him. These are Worship songs that I dedicate to Jesus. All the music and instruments are played by me, as well as I do all the singing. The writing and recording began in April 2020. Praying over the songs, I hope they prove to be a blessing to help others hear God's word. The sole purpose for doing this is that it will help others have food, water, clothing, shelter, and medical aid. You can find my songs under the name of Dave Schaffer, who has kindly let me use his account as I am not a fan of having my name on the internet. You can also find information on my Facebook page Emmaus Walk AD. So far, the Lord has blessed me with over 50 songs with 4,500 listeners across the entire globe and in many non-Christian countries to date. Praise Jesus for this.
