Making Sense of Counselling
Stressed? Anxious? Concerned? Worried? Don’t know how to stop eating, drinking or using drugs? No-one to turn to? Unhappy? Confused? Fed up? Had enough? Problems? Do you lack interest? Don’t know which way to turn?

You know what it’s like: ‘You just feel stuck and everyone pushes your buttons’. We all have a past and sometimes it feels like we live more in the past than in the present.
Counselling is a safe way of exploring what is happening to you and what is going on around you.
‘As a counsellor, I am first and foremost interested in what my client wants to get out of the sessions and what they want in life.’
I believe that ultimately the client has the answers to the situation, and that it is my job to help them discover it. I have learned that it is important to have ‘conversations’ with clients and so together we discover the answers. I work very much in the ‘hear and now’ and dip back into ‘the past’ when what we are looking at in the present doesn’t shift. Working in the ‘hear and now’ builds confidence and helps you put the past into perspective and leave it behind.
