Dear friends and colleagues
Last year my page was hacked and I was locked out of it along with access to the Insight Northampton business page. I have not been able to regain control so have had to create a new page and business page. The new business page is called:
'Insight Northampton Counselling Service' and can be found at,
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551121442040

A colleague of mine has been able to gain limited access in order to post this. Please, do not follow this old Insight Northampton page. It is no longer me posting on it! Instead, head over to my new, authentic page called 'Northampton Counselling Service'. If you can, please like and follow.

If you are in any doubt about this message I can be contacted via my website which is un-changed and can still be found at www.insightnorthampton.co.uk. Thank you so much!
Kind regards
Kevin Powell

Do you feel Listened to? Heard? Understood?

How do you communicate? What are you communicating by your behaviour?

Before retraining and becoming a counsellor I worked in the building industry.

I had several roles to play and one of them was to talk to, build a relationship with, communicate with and agree a way of working with customers.
Not much difference to counselling really apart from logics, problem solving, planning, practicalities V emotions and feelings that I focus on in counselling.

This leads me to the importance of communication, clarity, expectations, confusion.

I remember a small but interesting job I was involved with. It involved waterproofing a pond and the small pumped stream that fed the pond.
Upon meeting the client they asked me for a “black finish” to which I agreed to and assured them this was possible.
I explained what I could offer and the way the works would have to be carried out which was all acceptable and agreed upon.
I arrived at the location with the equipment and materials needed and was greeted by the customer.
They then said to me “ you are going to do it black for me?” yes I replied. “ what shade of black are you going to do as I don’t want it black black”

I will keep this as short as possible and won’t go into all the technical stuff involved.

This totally threw and left me confused as I didn’t know there were shades of black.
This wasn’t communicated to me until I was ready to start which resulted In that I couldn’t meet their expectations which were unsatisfactory for everyone.

The result, A damaged relationship
