Can talking to someone help?
At times we may all struggle with stresses, strains, challenges, difficulties, loss and change. In a fast changing and sometimes confusing world many of us may struggle to feel connected; with ourselves, with others and within society and during these times it can be helpful to talk about our thoughts, our feelings and our emotions.
Life can be difficult, and I understand that.
We can’t always cope on our own and at times may need additional support. The therapeutic relationship aims to give that support.
I offer a space which is safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental in which you can feel secure and supported. A space where there are no expectations. We will work together at a pace that suits you, and we will build a trusting relationship, so that you can work through any difficulties or challenges that you are experiencing.
People who need support sometimes look a lot like people who don’t need support.
At the heart of counselling
Connection. Compassion. Care.
Connection.
Beyond appearances, roles, expectations or judgements. Meeting you where the difficult, messy, and human parts of experience can have space.
Compassion.
Understanding you within your own frame of reference. We are all shaped by different beginnings, by different experiences of love, loss, safety, survival, pressure and opportunity, or the absence of these things. We all struggle differently. We all protect ourselves differently. We all cope differently.
Care.
Holding the relationship with consistency, respect, and professional responsibility, in a space where trust may develop.
