WHAT COUNSELLING INVOLVES
Counselling can involve talking about sensitive issues and revealing your inner most personal thoughts and feelings. Sometimes our problems can feel complicated and difficult to overcome, or we may feel that our difficulties will be thought of as trivial and we should be able to deal with them ourselves.
A Counsellor will focus on you and listen to your problems without judging or criticising you.
WHEN CAN COUNSELLING HELP?
When life feels okay, we feel good about ourselves and can meet the day to day demands of life. However sometimes we go through difficult times or we experience feelings which concern us – grief, fear, loneliness, anger or guilt. You may be going through a crisis, or have an ongoing situation which has become overwhelming and unbearable.
It’s times like these that counselling can help you make sense of what is happening and support you through a difficult time in your life.
