Counselling is a confidential, non-judgemental space. It is a space to talk, to be yourself, to work through problems and concerns you have, or to just be, without any judgement. It is like pressing the pause button on every day life, and taking the time to reflect and process what is happening.
Counselling can involve talking about painful experiences and emotions, confusing situations and difficult decisions, and sometimes overwhelming events. Finding someone you feel comfortable with is the most important first step.
Counselling will hopefully help you to find your way forward. I can offer you my reflections on what you bring, and have some tools you may find helpful, but I don’t usually provide advice and direction about what you should do or change, that is your choice.
I have many years of experience in mindful awareness, encouraging slowing down and noticing what is happening and what you need. In this way of working, we can begin to see more choices and to live life more in tune with our core values.
Counselling sessions can include talking, drawing, sand tray, ‘listening’ to the inside of your body, movement and mindfulness practice, resting – together we can find out what works best for you.
