Do I need counselling?
People come to counselling for a variety of reasons.
You’ve identified that something isn’t right and you are looking for answers.
‘Normal’ isn’t feeling normal anymore.
You may have had previous experience of talking therapy and experienced a change.
You’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed by a life transition like retirement, moving or divorce.
Someone may have suggested counselling might help because they’ve noticed a difference in you - and you agree.
Working on a regular basis with a counsellor gives you the time and space to explore your feelings, thoughts and ideas. In our sessions together, we can build a deeper and clearer understanding of you and find within yourself the answers you may be looking for. Sessions are confidential and I won’t share anything about you without your consent. Counselling provides a safe time to talk about anything you are going through.
The BACP has a detailed page on "What is counselling?" including some videos from skilled professionals to explain what is involved.
