‘Owning our story can be hard but not as difficult as running from it.’
Brene Brown
Why counselling?
Counselling is a talking therapy that provides a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore anything that may be troubling, challenging, or confusing for you.
It is having a conversation with someone who deeply listens and supports you in finding the answers for yourself.
It can help with a range of issues such as:
finding meaning
feeling stuck
low self esteem
anxiety and depression
panic attacks
relationship issues
facing a diagnosis or health issue
anxiety around death, dying and loss
bereavement
grief
eating disorders
addictions
suicidal thoughts and feelings
How counselling can help
‘It isn’t about getting rid of your emotions, it’s about getting to know them well. That is where transformation happens.’ Pema Chodron
The counselling process can help you build greater self-awareness of the situation you are in. It can help you see any unhelpful patterns you may have developed and how they came about.
It can lead to greater self-acceptance by providing a place where you process your experiences and develop a different relationship with your history and experience. It will help you access your inner resources and develop greater resilience.
Sometimes people can experience a profound change and other times it may be a small shift, insight or change that makes the difference.
