Is Counselling For Me?

Counselling or even the idea of counselling can be a daunting prospect. There can be a fear attached to counselling when you do not know what exactly it is about or how it works.

Some believe that it is the counsellor's job to fix the client. Sadly counsellor's cannot delete the past or wave a magic wand to make everything feel or seem better.

What I can do however is allow you the space and time to think clearly and explore the reasons why you have considered and come to counselling.

I can help provide you with skills to deal differently and constructively with the very real difficulties and challenges that life can present. This allows you to find the assistance you need to face your difficulties or concerns. This in turn will help to deepen your understanding of your own issues. Also you may find that your existing coping skills will change in an incremental fashion allowing you to cope better with your situation as time goes on. 

You will set the pace of the sessions and everything you say will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.
