Counselling
What is counselling?
Counselling offers you a place to explore difficulties you are having in your personal life with someone who is trained neither to judge you nor to advise you, but to explore and unlock your feelings, which may have been hidden for years. Past and present relationships will be talked about as well as your relationship with the counsellor. It may well be upsetting, but it will help you to understand more about yourself. From this you may begin to feel less confused, or make changes in your life, or come to terms with things that can't be changed.
Is counselling right for you?
There are many reasons for seeking counselling. You may be feeling upset and distressed and have problems with your feelings, behaviour, thoughts, and relationships. You may keep getting stuck in patterns or relationships that don't work. You may have had a sudden life-crisis, or you may feel you lack direction and that life makes no sense. There may be something specific you want to try to work out. One of the aims of counselling is to guide us from feeling victims of circumstance to feeling we have some control over our lives.
