Will Counselling Help Me?

In counselling and psychotherapy we will work together to help you live in a more satisfying, fulfilling and resourceful way.

We all experience stages when our life feels a struggle. Life can be challenging. We can be affected by our past as well as what is facing us in the present. This can leave us feeling unbalanced, worried and unsure of ourselves. At times you may feel overwhelmed or it is difficult to cope; maybe you are struggling with stress, anxiety or relationship issues. You may have a sense of being lost, stuck or lacking purpose. Alternatively you may have a desire to explore and understand a bit more about yourself or regain a sense of their priorities, with a view to enhancing personal growth, creativity or development. A deeper self understanding can lead to a change in how you view yourself, your life and your relationships.

I provide a safe place in which you can talk about, explore and understand your feelings.
Looking for someone to talk to at times of difficulty may seem a sensible option. But it is not always an easy decision to make. You might feel you need to cope on your own, not wanting to burden other people with your problems. You might fear they will judge you if you tell them how you are feeling.
