Personal Counselling
There are times in most of our lives when we experience distressing events and feelings which seem to have no end or solution in sight. Sometimes we know that our feelings are due to particular circumstances such as marital stress, relationship problems, bereavement or illness, at others we may have no idea what is making us feel the way we do; all we know is that our lives have become uncomfortable, difficult or even seem intolerable.
If the feeling of anxiety becomes too great we can be prompted into making hasty decisions, which may be regretted or, act on advice with which we may not totally agree – and then have to live with the consequences. Counselling can help people to clarify their thoughts and feelings so they can arrive at their own decisions, or even make major changes in their lives.
The aim of counselling is to help you find your own answers and to become more in charge of your own life. To live your life rather than be lived by it.
Counselling offers you the opportunity to explore different ways of looking at your life and move towards a more effective way of coping.
So whoever you are, whatever you age, whatever the situation or problem you are facing, whether you are worried, depressed, confused, feeling bad about yourself, coping with unexpected change or crisis or just wanting to make some changes in your life, it can be helpful to talk things over, in confidence, with one of our understanding and well trained counsellors.
