About us
Horizons can symbolize limitless potential. They are where ground meets earth, and depending on where one stands, represents a range of perceptions. They symbolize the limit and growth of our perception and understanding. They serve as a metaphor for the boundaries we encounter in life—both physical and metaphorical—and prompt us to explore, discover, and push beyond them. Horizons encourage us to seek new experiences, broaden our perspectives, and embrace change, ultimately leading to personal development, insight, and fulfillment. By striving to expand our horizons, we open ourselves to a world of possibilities, creativity, and self-discovery.
Horizon Counselling Guiding Principles:
Embrace Growth: We believe in fostering an environment that encourages personal and professional growth for both our clients and staff. By continuously seeking to expand our horizons, we can better serve and support individuals on their journey towards self-improvement and fulfillment.
Encourage Exploration: We encourage exploration of new ideas, perspectives, and experiences. Just as the horizon beckons us to venture beyond familiar landscapes, we strive to inspire curiosity and openness in our approach to counseling, enabling clients to discover new insights and possibilities.
Promote Resilience: Like the horizon, which may shift and change with the passing of time, we understand that life presents challenges and transitions. We aim to equip our clients with the tools and resilience needed to navigate these changes, adapt to adversity, and emerge stronger on the other side.
Cultivate Empowerment: By expanding horizons, we empower individuals to take control of their lives and make informed choices. Through counseling and support, we aim to instill confidence, self-awareness, and autonomy, enabling clients to overcome obstacles and pursue their goals with determination.
Embrace Interpretation: Like the philosopher Gadamer, we recognize that every individual possesses a unique horizon of understanding shaped by their experiences and cultural background. We aim to honor the diversity of perspectives within our counseling agency by approaching each client with openness and curiosity, embracing the interpretative dialogue between their horizon and ours to foster mutual understanding and insight.
Commit to Excellence: We are committed to delivering high-quality counseling services that meet the unique needs of each individual. Through ongoing education, training, and professional development, we ensure that our team remains knowledgeable, skilled, and empathetic in providing effective support and guidance to our clients.
Encourage Reflective Engagement: Guided by Gadamer's belief in the dynamic nature of interpretation, we encourage clients to reflect critically on their own assumptions, biases, and preconceptions. Through self-examination and dialogue with their counselor, clients can expand their horizons of understanding, leading to deeper insights and personal growth.
