Why Counselling
Finding Support Through Life's Challenges
Sometimes in life, events and situations can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck, causing pain and suffering. Working with a trained professional offers a confidential space to explore these challenges and pinpoint the changes you want to make.
It is estimated that one in three people in the UK have now had some form of talking therapy such as counselling, and 65% of them report a noticeable improvement in the quality of their lives after a relatively small number of sessions.
It of course depends on the individual, and their circumstances, as to how long might make a difference. There is though plenty of good evidence that this kind of therapy can make a positive difference in many people’s lives.
Common counselling issues include anxiety or stress related to health concerns, work and college pressure, bereavement, marriage, divorce, pregnancy, infertility, adoption, abuse, bullying, trust issues, redundancy, aging challenges, and caregiving.
Counselling offers support during challenging times, whether it's coping with bereavement, unemployment, relationship issues, or medical conditions like depression and anxiety. It can also help to manage factors contributing to physical problems such as sleep issues and high blood pressure.
If you're uncertain about what's wrong, but feel things aren't right, that's okay.
Let me support you in your journey towards improved happiness and confidence and help you find those steps along the path to positive change. As your counsellor, we'll collaborate in a safe space to explore and understand your challenges, minimise their day-to-day impact, and reduce the chance of the same problems repeating themselves.
Please remember that you do not have to be alone in tackling these things.
I support individuals in exploring the root of their concerns, challenging their thinking, and finding strategies to manage difficult and negative feelings. Together, we work towards creating positive change and recovery.
If you're new to counselling and feeling uncertain about what to expect, I'm here to help. I understand that taking the first step can be daunting. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have. I'm more than happy to provide clarity and support to ease your concerns. Let's schedule a counselling assessment appointment to guide you through this process.
