What can counselling do for me?

Talking with counsellor offers a psychological space that friends or family cannot provide.

The ‘severity’ of a problem is relative; counselling is valid whether concern is minimal or overwhelming
People who engage in the counselling process find it useful, although at times the process can be challenging.

Counselling can enable you to help make sense of events or experiences and explore options for change by providing a specific opportunity where you will be heard and respected.  Counsellors don’t normally give advice and counselling is not necessarily a cure-all, but talking can help.

My preferred model when counselling is CBT

The premise of CBT is that what people think affects how they feel emotionally and how they behave.

During times of emotional distress the way a person sees and judges themselves may become more negative. CBT therapists aim to work jointly with the person to help them begin to see the link between unhelpful thinking styles and mood.
This may empower a person to have more control over negative emotion and to bring about changes in unhelpful behaviour.
it can be particularly effective for stress related conditions, anxiety, phobias, obsessions, eating disorders and depression.

Counselling can help you to focus on and understand more clearly issues that are concerning you.  By respecting your values, choices and lifestyle, the we can work together towards making choices or changes that are right for you.
