How can counselling help you?

What is Counselling and psychotherapy and how can it help?

Counselling can help at difficult times in your life to understand what is happening to you and why. It can help for both short term work, concentrating on a particular problem, or it can be offered over a much longer period of time, focusing on more deep-set issues. It provides a safe, supportive, non-judgemental, setting for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, and to help you to begin to take control of your life. It can promote positive change and growth.


When Can it Help?

Counselling can help with so many different issues in life, including:
bereavement, unresolved loss, anxiety, stress,unexplained feelings of anger, depression, abuse, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem and loss of confidence.

It can also help those people who experience a long-standing general feeling of unhappiness and loneliness and cannot identify what the cause of this is. Counselling can help to explore these feelings and learn to understand them, and thereby gain insight and acceptance.

Many people mistakenly think that counselling is only appropriate for extreme situations - in fact, it can help those people who are wanting to gain more self-awareness and insight into their own behaviour, and for personal development.


What Benefits can be Expected?

  • "Change happens not by trying to make yourself change
