WHAT ARE PAʻA COUNSELLING SESSIONS ?
Paʻa is a Hawaiian term for ʻunshakeable foundationʻ. When we create Paʻa in our lives, we are able to live with more connection to ourselves, to others, to earth, to spirit and to the things that bring us joy, peace, freedom and purpose.
Charlie Snow is now offering their unique blend of counselling sessions, along with Hoʻoponopono techniques and Hawaiian wisdom, to support people living more authentically, aligned, and expansive lives.
Creating Paʻa is about recognising what is Pono (right) for you in your life, as well as what isnʻt right, getting clear on what your path is, along with what brings you true joy, learning to set boundaries where needed, and releasing any Pohaku (stones) that are weighing you down.
Sometimes we need a little help with this process, and a safe space to share our experiences and work through our worries/fears or things we may have felt quite stuck around for some time. Sometimes this is mostly about our relationship with ourselves and sometimes itʻs also about our relationships with others. Sometimes we might also need a little help with finding the right techniques that can help us to stay grounded and open to lifeʻs adventures.
Paʻa Counselling Sessions are designed for people who want to gain clarity in their lives, for people who want to work through things that may have been holding them back, for people who want a safe place to share things that they may not have other safe people to share with, and for people who want to build their inner strength and wisdom to move forward with purpose and love for themselves, for others and for the world.
Charlie creates a safe space with absolute Aloha (unconditional love) for everyone, and their extensive work with Hawaiian wisdom supports them to be non-judgemental, whilst holding true empathy and compassion for all people.

TESTIMONIALS
“The sessions with Charlie always leave me feeling grounded and clear on my next steps. They work without judgement and create a space of safety for me to open fully about the aspects of my life which I feel are out of alignment and which I often donʻt feel I can share with others.
Charlie provides deep acceptance and calm clear guidance from a place of lived experience, which really helps me to feel deeper self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, self-love and reassurance that I am actually doing ok in this confusing, muddled life journey.”

“I reached out to Charlie for support navigating my gender journey. I felt deep relief knowing I was sharing therapeutic space with someone who has lived experience of life beyond the binary. It can be challenging to find health care porfessionals who feel safe and supportive as a queer person.
I was received with care, spaciousness, and powerful witness.
Charle holds a space in a way that feels effortless. Our session was restful, encouraging, and ultimately deeply affirming.
I highly recommend Charlie and feel like the world is simply a better place because they are doing their pupose work and holding space for others to do the same.” - Anonymous client

"Attended a Pa’a online counselling session with Charlie today. The zoom session was easy to log in. Over the course of the hour session we chatted about a few issues that were relevant to my pathway in life. The interaction was genuine and professional.
I was offered a few tips on managing unhelpful thoughts and explored a few perspectives on how my past might influence my present. A few proverbs from traditional Hawaiian cultural practices were refreshing. Definitely recommend." - Anonymous client
