How Charlyn works
Charlyn starts by getting to know each client and looking at their strengths and struggles. The talk about the past is short. Most of the work is about where the client is headed. Together they review goals or build goals if none exist yet. Each session uses questions to find the thoughts and habits that slow progress. Then they build confidence and choose the next steps, whether small or large.
