Whether this is the first time you have contemplated counselling or you’re revisiting, it’s important to share. Often the most courageous step is to seek support.
To get this far you are possibly going through a difficult time or you might have certain things in your life that are troubling you?
In life, we face many difficult challenges and painful situations which we can find hard to talk about with family or friends.
- Have you had a specific experience that is making it difficult to cope or affecting present-day behaviours and feelings?
- Having relationship difficulties, either in the past or right now?
- Do you feel down with low self-esteem? Constantly worried and stressed? Suffering loss or grief?
- Do you find yourself repeating unhelpful patterns and behaviours that are holding you back?
- Maybe you can’t put your finger on it, however things just don’t feel right or life isn’t as you want it to be?
- Is it simply time for things to change?
Is counselling right for you?
Deciding to reach out and seek counselling can be a difficult decision - but if you choose to, it is a really valuable space which might not exist in your everyday life.
Counselling provides a confidential space which is just about you and where you can feel safe to explore difficult feelings. You will be listened to, heard and valued – often, many clients say, for the first time.
Our relationship
I believe the relationship between you as the client and me as the counsellor is at the heart of all therapy work.
Our relationship is built on trust, which is earned by myself from you, and it ultimately facilitates your healing process. For this reason, it's important that you find a counsellor who is right for you.
