What is Counselling?

Counselling enables you to be heard; it enables you to get everything off your chest that has been whirling around in your head for as long as you can remember!  It gives you the opportunity to express thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgemental space without any interruption.

Sometimes you just need to talk to someone about how you are feeling.  It is usually easier to talk to a stranger about your fears, anxieties and worries as they don’t know you, or the people in your life and they are able to give you a more objective perspective as they are not involved in your life.  That’s where counselling comes in,  A Counsellor is removed from your problems and therefore is able to see more clearly what is effecting you and can offer insight and understanding along with a sympathetic ear.  Being able to air your feelings without worrying about hurting someone else, or being fearful of what they might think of you can be liberating and allow you to let go of your worries in a supportive and understanding environment.

Just being able to talk can be immensely healing and therapeutic.
