S W Counselling

Counselling is a talking therapy that allows you to talk about your problems and feelings in a confidential and safe environment.

I am here to  listen without judging or criticising and to help you deal with any negative thoughts and feelings you have.

Counselling can be used to help with many different conditions, including:

 

Depression

Anxiety

Low self-esteem

Eating disorders

Phobias

Lack of motivation

Addictions

Bereavement

Long term illnesses

Relationship problems and much more

 

How counselling can help you....

Counselling aims to help you deal with and overcome issues that are causing emotional pain or making you feel uncomfortable.

I can provide a safe and regular space for you to talk and explore difficult feelings.  I am there to support you and respect your views.

I won't usually give advice, but will help you find your own insights into and understanding of your problems.

 

Counselling can help you....

cope with a bereavement or relationship breakdown

cope with redundancy or work-related stress

explore issues such as sexual identity

deal with issues preventing you achieving your ambitions

deal with feelings of depression or sadness, to help you have a more positive outlook on life

deal with feelings of anxiety, helping you worry less about things 

understand yourself and your problems better

feel more confident

 

Counselling can often involve talking about difficult or painful feelings and, as you begin to face them, you may feel worse in some ways.  However, with the help and support, you should gradually start to feel better. In most cases, it takes a number of sessions before the counselling starts to make a difference, and a regular commitment is required to make the best use of the therapy.

 

What to expect from counselling...

During your counselling sessions, you'll be encouraged to express your feelings and emotions. By discussing your concerns with you, I can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes, as well as identifying ways of finding your own solutions to problems.

It can be a great relief to share your worries and fears with someone who acknowledges your feelings and is able to help you reach a positive solution.
