Counselling

What Is

What is Counselling?

Counselling is ultimately an investment in yourself — in your wellbeing, growth, and peace of mind. You don’t have to go through things alone. With the right support, change is possible.

Counselling is a way of exploring emotional, relationship, and other problems in a safe, confidential space.

Counselling uses the relationship between the counsellor and the client to help the client. This is why choosing the right counsellor for you is so important. It is okay to speak to a counsellor and feel that you don’t quite click and look for someone else. Not every counsellor can help every client, and you will get more benefit from a counsellor you feel comfortable with.

I trained as an integrative counsellor, which means that I learned about different ways of counselling, such as humanistic, existential, gestalt and psychodynamic. The method I am most drawn to is person-centred counselling. This means that I trust my client to be the expert on themselves. I will provide a nurturing and safe space where you can find your own solutions to problems. I may draw on other methods but will always remain person-centred in my approach.

Counselling can help you feel more in control of your life by offering clarity and emotional relief. Many people find that through regular sessions they:

Feel heard and understood, often for the first time in a long while
Gain clarity and perspective on situations that once felt overwhelming
Build self-awareness and confidence
Develop healthier coping strategies for dealing with stress and emotions
Strengthen relationships and communication with others
Begin to make positive, lasting changes that support a more fulfilling life

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting — and that’s completely okay. You don’t need to have the “right words” or even know exactly what you’re looking for. Sometimes, it simply starts with a conversation.

If you’re curious about how counselling might help, or you’d just like to ask a few questions, I’d love to hear from you. There’s no pressure, no obligation — just a safe, friendly space to talk things through.
