What is Counselling

 

Whoever you are, whatever your age or situation / problem that you are facing, whether you are worried, depressed, confused, feeling bad about yourself, or, wanting to make some changes in your life, talking in confidence to an understanding person can help.

Counselling provides a confidential setting where you have the time to talk about your concerns thay you may have.

Counselling aims to help you see a difficulty in a different way and find other options for tackling your problem more efficiently.

Counselling can provide you with the space to talk through an issue that is very personal to you, without feeling judged or criticised.

 

Why see a Counsellor

 

Sometimes it can be hard to talk to someone close to you in case they worry too.

Sometimes the thing that you wish to discuss is so personal that you may feel embarrassed talking to someone you know.

Sometimes no one seems to understand without telling you what to do.

We all have times when we feel unable to cope. Pressure can build up and we cannot see a way out of the confusion. talking to a skilled listener about personal difficulties may enable you to begin to feel, think and behave in surprisingly different ways.

Most people find the process a very positive one, leading to the development of stratergies that can be used throughout life

 

What they do

When you see a counsellor they will explain how they work, how many times they can see you and generally get to know about you and things that are challenging you. By listening and using skills they may be able to support you to look afresh at the problems. they support you through the exploration, they are trained to enable you to make sense of your thoughts and feelings so that you are the one who is able to make choices and decisions.

The work is generally short term, usually 6 sessions. A session will last 50 minutes.
