What is Counselling?

You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness or suicidal thoughts. You might be worrying that there is something wrong with you, or feel isolated. It may be that you have had a relationship breakdown, suffered a bereavement, or are worrying about someone in your family. So many different feelings and situations can bring us to counselling and I believe it should be accessible to everyone from all walks of life.

Counselling offers a confidential space for you to explore your experiences and feelings. Sessions take place on a one-to-one basis. You will have an hour a week in which to talk about whatever you would like. I will listen to you with great care and attention, and over time, I work with you to help you to think about yourself and your life through my objectivity and curiosity about your experiences.

Over time, you will hopefully build up trust in the relationship and find yourself able to discuss the situations and feelings that are worrying you. 

Counselling can help with many things too numerous to list here, including: 

Abuse, addiction, anger and aggression, anxiety, bereavement, depression, difference and diversity issues, domestic violence, fertility, loneliness, loss, mental illness, paranoia, parenting, phobias, relationship difficulties, sexual Issues, stress.
