Ø Abuse

Accompanying clients by providing a supporting environment based on genuineness, trust and respect, I am active and involved in our relationship. I believe clients are their own experts and with the right support they will find meaning in their lives.

My own journey has been diverse, rich and not without its intricacies. In my twenties, it took me from my native Ireland to Cameroon for four years as a volunteer teacher, with an interruption to take care of my mother at home when she was dying of cancer. I worked as a carer in New York and came to France over twenty years ago. In Paris, I was a language trainer and advisor to adults in the corporate world and with various organisations for the unemployed, before leaving to do an MA in counselling at the University of East Anglia (UEA), Norwich. I was a student and staff counsellor at the University when I lived in the UK.

Because of my experience and training, I work effectively with people of different cultures, ages, race, sexual orientation and gender. I bring to counselling: compassion, commitment and, I hope, an ever-increasing amount of wisdom. I have strong intuition, a good sense of humour and great confidence in others and their capacity for growth. If you think we could work together, please feel free to call or e-mail me.

Fees:

My fees range from:

45 to 60 euros a session (individual)

I look forward to meeting you.

Writing and Healing Workshop

“What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Would you like to use words to help change your life?

A six-week course with Noreen Quinn-Singh, counsellor, teacher and lover of writing. In Paris, 16th (near Michel Ange-Auteuil métro)

When: Beginning week of 11th February, 2008. Mondays, 18:30 to 21:00 or Thursdays, 15:00 to 17:30

Story-telling and writing have been used successfully to support people with various issues by getting in touch with intuition to express creativity. Writing can also enrich your own personal growth. The process implies self exploration, being heard and responded to. In this largely experiential course we will work with various exercises to enable you to reflect upon, and discuss what matters to you.

Noreen Quinn-Singh is a qualified counsellor and trainer (MA Counselling, BSc Psychology, & BA). Her approach to counselling is person-centred. It is a growth model, developed by Carl Rogers, and assumes that people have vast resources within themselves for self- understanding and self-direction. Quinn-Singh also writes. Her work has been published (www.wice/upstairs at duroc.v.1.2&3); in STEEPED in the world of tea (Arris Books). Her soon-to-be-published manuscript ‘The Plait’ relates different strands of her own life. Quinn-Singh’s recent research was on Writing As A Way Of Healing The Soul.

Support
Give it a go she said
I want to give up
Give up
But I will extend
And tighten my hand
Once more.

Ahista
Take it softly
Stay with me
Don’t go away
I need to know
You will be there
When I stumble
Into bed not
Yet fatigued at four
I need to see
You restful
To be reminded
Of how it once was
For me.

N. Quinn-Singh (Upstairs at Duroc. No.3)
