Maybe you are feeling unclear right now, or you may have a sense that things are not as you would like them to be. Perhaps you need someone to talk to, someone to share those thoughts, feelings and behaviours that can often get stuck and feel unchangeable. Or it could be that you know what you want from your life, but unsure how to change certain behaviours that can be limiting.
Whichever is the case you have come to the right place! Counselling can be a good place to start exploring all your feelings, thoughts and behaviours. You can start to have more clarity around who you are and help build your emotional wellbeing.
Many people feel nervous about seeing a counsellor. This feeling is understandable, but in addition to our physical needs like food, water, and shelter, every one of us has emotional needs too. Often people seek counselling for a specific reason, such as bereavement, substance misuse, relationship issues, or important life decisions but it doesn’t have to be related to a major life event.
Many of us will have had difficult experiences at some stage of our lives that may have affected our self-esteem and our ability to make good choices for ourselves. This is where counselling can be beneficial for everyone.
