“Counselling Centred on the Person”

There may be times in our lives when situations, feelings and thoughts occur that feel overwhelming. They may cause us to feel angry, upset or embarrassed. Family and friends may be able to offer help or support but often have their own ideas and suggestions of what is best for us.

Counselling can provide a safe, non-judgemental environment in which you can explore what these thoughts and feelings mean to you as a unique individual.

By providing you with the time and space to talk to a trained professional, who will listen attentively and fully, you may be able to consider the aspects of your life that are causing you most concern, in a way that you may not be able to talk to family or friends.

Being in such an environment allows you to talk openly and fully about your distress and may assist you in gaining greater understanding about yourself and your life. In gaining an understanding you may find yourself better placed to make decisions and to make choices about your life and your personal circumstances. Having such choices can lead to a greater sense of self-esteem and well-being.
