Counselling, also known as a 'talking therapy', can provide a safe, confidential and non judgmental space which allows you to explore your life and make sense of what you are feeling, whilst being supported by an experienced therapist.
My aim during our counselling partnership is to empower you to take ownership of the sessions, to let you navigate where you want to go. Although this may feel scary or overwhelming, I feel that this approach can be very empowering and can help you to find a solution that works best for you. I never make promises that I will heal or fix you, you are not broken. However, I can promise that I will hear you, that I will be by your side and help you unpack what is holding you back or holding you in a place of stuckness, and encourage you to heal yourself within the safe space of our relationship. My role as a counsellor is not to tell you what to do, but through support and gentle challenging it can enable you to gain a greater understanding of yourself and how you are in relationships.
Confusion, loneliness and helplessness are often feelings that affect people on a daily basis and also affect those around us.
Sometimes, friends and family are enough to help us through; at other times we may need some extra support. Counselling is about helping you look at these issues and to explore ways forward; this maybe helping you resolve them or finding new ways of coping. Talking to a counsellor can help you gain an understanding as to why things feel as they do and to find new ways of coping in order that you can feel more in control of your future. It can take time, but can be done at your own pace. Making the decision to see a counsellor can be a turning point and can make a significant difference to the way you are feeling. For some people opening up about things that are affecting them can prove challenging or even painful, particularly early on during the process. In this instance, attending counselling on a regular basis, even when it feels difficult, often proves valuable, enabling thoughts and feelings to be worked through.
Whether it's concerns about the future, perhaps you are looking at making some difficult decisions, coping with what's happening now, or dealing with past experiences, counselling can provide personal support and a new insight.
