Why Counselling?

Are you looking to offload an emotional burden? Deal with a loss or change negative ways of thinking?

People seek counselling for many reasons. Some struggle with an immediate issue; a change in circumstances or a bereavement, which can cause depression or anxiety. Others face traits of behaviour they feel unable to tolerate any longer i.e; anger issues, or addictions which usually mask a deeper cause. My job is to help the you get to the core issues, so you can feel and function in a healthy manner and relate to yourself and others without hiding behind a mask.

For some people a few sessions is all they require to gain some clarity by talking to someone neutral who can give an objective insight. Others may benefit from a longer journey, ‘peeling off the layers’ and allowing the process of counselling to take its course as they begin to discover themselves and find the true self they always knew was there.

Counselling is about a relationship and I am there to be a sounding board who facilitates change by being a non-judgemental, empathic partner, without hiding away from the need to challenge you. Short-term or long-term my goal is to get you moving forward where you're feeling stuck, working with you to find new ways of thinking that can change the way you see yourself and help you act in ways that can bring greater well-being.
