What is counselling?

Counselling falls under the umbrella term ‘talking therapies’ and allows people to discuss their problems and any difficult feelings they encounter in a safe, confidential environment. The term can mean different things to different people, but in general, it is a process people seek when they want to change something in their lives, or simply explore their thoughts and feelings in more depth.

Counselling can be useful for anyone who wants to explore the way they're thinking or feeling further, as well as for anyone experiencing a problem or issue they are keen to resolve. People may choose to speak to a counsellor because they feel they cannot speak to their other half/friends/family about such personal issues, or they may simply wish to speak to a professional with an objective viewpoint.

How can counselling help?


As a Person Centred counsellor I refrain from being directive, I shall facilitate in your agenda which shall uncover your own insight and understanding of your problems providing you with the tools which will help you to resolve them on your own. In the majority of cases, a single session will not be enough to help overcome any issues you're facing. Counselling is a journey, and it takes time and consistency to work effectively. Because of this, many people opt for regular counselling sessions to make the most of the process.


Counselling sessions will last for 60 minutes.  Weekly sessions are recommended but this can be flexible and adapted to meet your needs.  You may require just a few sessions for help support you with a specific issue or longer term therapy to explore deep-underlying issues, helping you to accept and deal with the past and the present.

“When a person realizes they have been deeply heard, their eyes moisten. I think in some real sense they are weeping for joy. It is as though they were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me”
