Reflecting whilst moving forward

Day to day life as well as life events can be stressful for us all. We may be able to chat and confide in our friends and family for most things, some things or all things.

 

However sometimes people find it difficult to discuss worries or aspirations with people they know, or feel those close to them listen but do not hear. For others it is important to take time out of their normal day-to-day life to reflect on their life and their self. I offer one to one counselling either short or long term depending on your needs for issues ranging from low self-worth, depression, abuse, anxiety, sadness, relationship difficulties, health concerns, work issues etc.

I believe the aim of counselling is to provide you with an opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe place. I will use knowledge acquired from my training to help you gain a better understanding of yourself, your current situation and your relationships.

 

For some people understanding their thoughts, feelings and behaviours is what they hope counselling can help with. However for others they wish to understand and then make some changes in order to either reduce their distress or find more fulfilling ways of living.  

 

My role is to help you through either process without judgement or telling you what to do. I may on occasions give information or offer suggestions. I am well aware that often the nature of the issues discussed are very sensitive so we will endeavour to create an inclusive environment in which any issue can be explored.
