How it can help

Psychotherapeutic counselling can provide a space to pause and look at particular areas of concern and help determine a path of where to go next. With more clarity it can make you feel freer and more empowered to create a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling. It can help improve self-confidence and self-esteem, improve relationships both personally and professionally; and both recover and discover the resources both internally and externally that enable personal growth and change.

It provides a unique non-judgemental, trusting and compassionate space that can support you to have the courage to be vulnerable and locate areas of ourselves that we protect and hide yet can lead to us feeling stifled and silenced. Through our experiences we are shaped, sometimes in a way that we adapt ourselves away from our true self which can lead to a growing sense of unease that can manifest in anxiety and depression. Counselling can support you in reclaiming parts of yourself to foster a greater sense of empowerment, choice and freedom; and move forward with integrity.

Counselling may help to understand your emotional landscape, insecurities, past experiences and conflicts; and help to learn and interact in a more responsive and emotionally-connected way. Furthermore it can help to make sense of why you see things a certain way, bringing to the foreground what is unconscious so that life can be led with more intention and choice. We can't change our past, but we can change the way we carry it.
