Why counselling
These times are when counselling might be worth considering; talking and sharing may help you make better sense of things. Counselling can provide you with the space to be yourself, to work through your thoughts and feelings safely, to talk and to really be heard, in confidence.
Loss and bereavement, relationships; self-esteem and confidence; sadness, depression, loneliness, anxiety; mental health, stress; self-harm; work or study; addiction and gender/sexuality are just some examples of things I can support you with but whatever you have to bring is welcomed, without judgement.
How it works
Counselling isn’t always easy. It may be hard to talk about things, especially if they’ve not been spoken about before, or if they’ve been covered up for a long time. Sometimes it’s hard to make sense of what you’re feeling, let alone explain, but that’s ok.
Make contact
If you’re thinking you’d like counselling sessions, or to talk it through some more, please contact me. Understandably, you may be nervous, unsure what to expect, or anxious about what counselling may involve but hopefully talking to me may help alleviate any worries.
Meet up
We’ll meet up initially, to talk through where you are, where you’d ideally like to be and what you’d like to be different. This is a chance for me to learn more about you and you can think about whether you’d like to work with me and in what way. For counselling to really be effective, you need to find someone you feel comfortable with; someone you can trust and open up to.
Begin counselling
There is no obligation to continue with counselling, but if you feel you would like to, each session would last for 55 minutes and what you’d like to work through. The number of sessions can vary according to what you’d like to work through.
