Counselling, What is it all about...




Counselling comes under the umbrella term ‘talking therapies’ and allows people to discuss their problems and any difficult feelings they encounter in a safe, confidential, non-judgemental environment.



A counsellor is not there to sit you down and tell you what to do - instead, they will encourage you to talk about what's bothering you in order to uncover any root causes and identify your specific ways of thinking.


The counsellor may then look to create a plan of action to either help you reconcile your issues or help you to find ways of coping. The format of each session will normally be tailored to the needs discussed within the session and may include tasks or techniques to help make thoughts or feelings easier to manage.

How does Counselling work


Having a safe detached space to say exactly how you feel and to explore those thoughts and feelings in in a non-judgemental environment, can be very beneficial to uncover your own insight and understanding of where you are within your thoughts.


We can plan to use tools and ideas to help you resolve or manage your situation so that it starts to feel easier or is in your thoughts less often.


Knowledge is power, when you have a clearer understanding of your situation it is easier to gradually navigate your way through any difficulties you are facing and can start to feel more positive.
