How can counselling help you?

Accessing counselling services will allow you to work with a professional therapist who can help you with emotional support which can be beneficial towards your mental health.

The therapist will work professionally using their skills and techniques to help you gain a better understanding of yourself, and the insight you may need to make decisions that are right for you.

Counselling can provide a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where you can explore the issues you are facing. Perhaps the greatest benefit of counselling is that it can help you feel more in control and better able to reconnect with certain aspects of your life.

The person centred approach is  non-directive and centres on the client being their own expert, having both the potential and the ability to self-heal, working with themselves consciously rather than the therapist working with the client’s unconscious thoughts and ideas. 

This approach allows for a greater exploration of oneself and improves self-concepts which allows the client to become more realistic and less concerned with what others expect of them.

The main purpose of person-centred therapy is to facilitate the client’s ability to find one's true self, having a meaningful life and naturally tending towards positive growth. 

I offer a confidential and welcoming space where you can feel safe to explore your own experiences, I will work therapeutically with any feelings and emotions which may surface whilst we are working together in an empathic and non-judgemental environment allowing you to find a deeper understanding with any difficulties life may be throwing your way.  

When we feel truly heard, understood and accepted by another human being it allows us to connect with our inner selves, this can lead to a positive growth and change in our lives. 

I have experience working with a wide variety of presenting difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationship/family difficulties, grief, sexual/physical abuse, self harm  suicide and more.

When life is overwhelming or stressful you may experience some issues related to sleep such as, sleep anxiety, sleep insomnia or unhealthy bedtime habits.

Whilst working together I can get a better understanding of the reasons why you are struggling to sleep well at night.

I can provide additional support by helping you to improve any long/short term sleep problems.
