We believe that the issues we face do not define who or what we are. They are an invitation to look again at the choices that we make and the reality that we have created. The goal of the ‘Avalon Model’ is to assist the client in gaining greater in sight into the meaning of their life where the pain of the past becomes a stepping-stone to a future built on choice rather than compulsion.
