How Counselling Can Help
Life can be challenging. We all experience periods of struggle in our lives, where our normal coping mechanisms aren't working; where we may feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed or in despair, or where our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are negatively impacting our daily life. Acknowledging we need help can feel daunting, however talking to someone outside your day to day life can really help.
Whatever your reasons for seeking counselling may be, I strive to provide a safe, non judgemental and confidential space, where you can feel listened to, supported and understood; to explore any worries, issues, fears, unmet needs or traumatic experiences that are impacting your emotional well-being.
Together, with patience and compassion, we can make sense of your thoughts and feelings, enabling you to gain awareness and insight around the origins of your issues, and to bring about positive changes for the future.
