Counselling involves talking confidentially to a trained professional counsellor about your difficulties, past or present, in a safe, non-judgemental, private and supportive environment.
It can help you to learn more about yourself and your situation, so that you are able to see things more clearly and find a way of meeting or addressing your individual needs.
It can feel unusual at first focusing on your thoughts, behaviours and emotions and having someone else be alongside of you whilst you do this, but very soon this becomes more natural and helps you to gain a deeper understanding of your own mind, behaviours and emotions.
Change is Possible
We all have times in our lives when we may feel confused and trapped and our energies low. We can often keep on repeating the same patterns of behaviour and possibly believing that we cannot change and that is just the way things are. The truth is that change is possible.
We can often carry outdated beliefs about ourselves in our mind or learned behaviours from our past which we do not always question as to whether they still actually really help us, or are holding us back from living our lives.
Through awareness and understanding of those old behaviours we can start to let go of the ones that do not help us. Unravelling these through counselling can give us a conscious choice. We can be helped to gain a different perspective, learn new tools, deeper insight, self respect and ultimately change for the better, learning step by step to take responsibility for our own lives and finding a way forward to reach inner peace and fulfilment.
