COUNSELLING

Counselling is a special relationship built on confidentiality, mutual respect and open communication, with the intention of helping people to clarify and identify their problems and to discover solutions. Counselling helps you deal with your current situation or feelings.

I am here to listen and hear you. Some people can't remember a time when they were really heard. I am here to help you explore the issues that brought you to counselling. For some people, knowing that they will be seeing a counsellor on a regular basis can help relieve the sense of being on their own with their dilemmas or difficulties. This can help to manage their lives more easily and new perspectives may emerge.
Counselling can also help enable people to manage difficult feelings, without avoiding them or acting them out. This can bring a sense of relief, so we can understand our current situation.

Counselling is also about freeing ourselves, moving away from what we don't want, towards what we do want. With new insight we can understand our life differently, and a new meaning may emerge.

One common obstacle may be how we interpret our conscious
and unconscious belief systems, where we may mistake our personal view as the reality.
