Person Centred Counsellor

Why consider counselling?

You may think you are clear about a specific issue which you want to deal with. You may have a general sense that something is not right. Either way, you could be feeling unhappy without being able to identify the cause and be experiencing a sense of emptiness, or a feeling of being lost or numb.

Areas of concern may include:

• Abuse
• Anxiety
• Children
• Bereavement
• Confidence
• Depression
• Eating Disorders
• Employment worries
• Family
• Identity
• Loss
• Managing Change
• Mental Health
• Panic Attacks
• Personal Development
• Self Harm
• Stress
• Terminal Illness
• Self Esteem
• Suicidal feelings
• Relationships

How does it work?

As your counsellor I help you with whatever you wish to discuss with me. I offer a listening ear in a place where you are safe to express your thoughts, feelings and life experiences with me. Time and again I have witnessed that using counselling in this way leads to you feeling better. At our first session, you can experience counselling and decide if you would like to work with me. I offer one hour sessions on a regular basis for as long as you and I agree it is useful.

What’s in it for you?

At the end of our work together, you will notice some or all of the benefits which contribute to an increased sense of well being. This may be an acceptance of reality, honesty of feelings, trust in your self to do what feels right, freedom to make choices, or ability to participate in life more fully.
