Frequently Asked Questions

What is my counselling service about?

My service provides a safe and confidential environment to explore your issues and develop self-awareness. It is often not easy to discuss experiences and emotions with loved ones or friends for fear of embarrassment, being judged, rejected or hurting someone. Sometimes we can’t even make sense of it ourselves. This is when we need to someone to listen – but listen deeply. I am trained to help you develop a deeper understanding of your problems and facilitate positive change.

How might counselling help you?

With commitment it is an empowering process which helps develop insight and provide you with strategies that help you cope with the challenges of life. It will help you ‘know yourself’ on a deeper level and by doing so you will identify both positive and negative recurring patterns of behaviour, thoughts and responses that perhaps do not serve you well. Counselling will help you develop new patterns that will have a positive impact on your life and on how you feel about the world in general.

What is it like to work with a counsellor?

It is different depending on the counsellor you choose. A therapeutic and honest relationship develops with the sole aim of benefiting your life. I can promise that you are truly listened to and acknowledged and will become more aware and in control of the choices that are available to you. I have a flexible approach to suit individual needs and difficulties. I provide an emotional ‘space’ in which you can exercise your thoughts and feelings without the worry of friends and loved ones responses. Essentially, it’s all about YOU.
