Elevate Counselling

Hi. I'm Simon Bartz - father of two beautiful children, husband and counsellor. Welcome, and thank you for wanting to find out more. It takes a lot of courage and strength to make the first steps with seeking help toward investing in yourself, so I am certainly glad you're here! I’ve established Elevate Counselling with a specific focus on my passion of Men's General Mental Health & Wellbeing, Grief & Loss and Counselling for Addictions. In fact, I've often found these to be deeply intertwined. I know first-hand that being able to have a space where you are validated and listened to, free from barriers, judgement and expectations, can be so incredibly enriching for your mental health and wellbeing. It can also be a key decider and crucial toward making the decision to seek help. We really need the comfort and reassurance that comes with sharing feelings and thoughts with someone who provides undivided attention. Sometimes we just need to put the brakes on for a while, recalibrate and rediscover. Elevate Counselling offers such a space. Some time for you, where the floor is yours and where you can expect to receive unconditional positive regard and un-biased, genuine attention. Often we just need to find a way to unlock and discover feelings, thoughts and emotions. I am a warm, highly empathic, understanding, open-minded and non-judgmental person, who is also an exceptional listener! This is your journey. You steer your own ship. I will not dictate, be directive or enforce solutions upon you. What I will do is help you explore what's happening in your life, with some techniques, tools and resources that resonate the most with you, to support and stand alongside you with practical support for positive growth, as you create new goals and a brighter future for your journey to unfold.
