Individual Counselling

What can counselling help with?

We all have times when life gets on top of us. We might feel anxious, low, overwhelmed by our thoughts or just not feel like ourselves. Sometimes we know what’s caused it — something that happened years ago, a difficult experience or something that’s happened recently. Other times, we haven’t a clue why we feel the way we do. We just know we’re not feeling right.

Some people think you need to have a big problem or a good reason to come to counselling. We don’t see it that way. If something’s bothering you, you’re struggling to cope or you just feel that things could be better, that’s reason enough to come.

We focus on what’s brought to counselling, the feelings you’re having and the impact it’s having on your life. We don't analyse, judge or tell you what you should do as we don’t think that’s useful.

However counselling is more than just a ‘chat’.  Your counsellor will work with you to help you:

• Make sense of how you are feeling

• Understand why you feel as you do

• Understand how your thoughts, feeling and emotions are affecting you

Doing this can help you understand yourself better, makes choices or decisions that positively impact your life or change the way you look at situations or events.

We recommend you attend counselling weekly or fortnightly as less frequently can just become a ‘check in’ with your counsellor
Cost: £60 per session. Contact Ian, Kathy or Mags to discuss our availability.
