What is counselling?

Counselling can help you become the best version of yourself.  Whether you are in a crisis, or simply curious about the patterns in your life, counselling can help you work out what is getting in the way. Counselling helps you explore where issues comes from, and what you might like to do differently.

It is the opportunity to talk to a trained professional, someone who is not connected to you or your life and isn’t going to judge who you are or what you do. This is done in a safe, private and confidential space.

It isn’t a weakness to seek help and you don’t have to be broken to seek counselling.

Each therapist works with their clients’ individual needs. That might be exploring how the past is affecting your present, it might be challenging the thoughts and behaviours that are unhelpful to releasing your potential.

These are examples of why you might be considering therapy

• You would like help with depression, stress or anxiety
• You would benefit from exploring things that have happened in the past
• Your relationships don’t seem to work out
• You’re unhappy with where your life is going but are not sure how to change it
• You’ve been hurt in the past or have lost loved ones
• You’re experiencing life changes and it feels like a struggle
• Things haven’t felt right for a long time and you’re not sure why
• Everything feels overwhelming
• You are having a hard time coping with challenges in your life

Whatever your reasons for considering counselling, contact us to arrange a session or to have a chat about how counselling might help.

Your therapist will work with you to find a suitable time, whether that is the same time each week, or working around a shift pattern. Once you have made that commitment your therapist keeps that space for you. Most therapists reserve the right to charge if a session is cancelled at short notice, this is at their discretion.
