What is counselling? image
Counselling offers you the opportunity to be heard and gain insight and understanding of yourself. From this point, you can feel empowered to make the changes you desire or simply a peaceful acceptance of yourself. 
 
You may have been given a 'label' for your difficulty, and while this can be helpful, I endeavour to work with the person, rather than the label, to help you find your sense of self and self worth beyond this. 

It is important to note, that sometimes a 'label' can support you into getting the correct support that you need and give you relief in knowing 'it's not your fault'.  Often the balance between the two will be our goal. 
 
Sometimes education around a counselling theory may help you to understand new perspectives and in particular, relationship dynamics. 
 
This can quickly lead to lasting changes in your life, healthier relationships and self esteem improvement. 

Learning about how to create healthy boundaries to prevent 'drama' in your life will change the way you interact with not only relationships, but yourself and therefore how you view your place in the world. 
 
Bringing the unconscious into conscious with the help of a counsellor helps us to observe ourselves without judgement and decide whether we want to change or keep certain behaviours. We are 'programmed' from our childhood and much can be gained from learning about this, not to blame, but to understand and give ourselves choices for our future behaviour.  
If you feel this would help, I would be happy to teach you this within your counselling sessions so that you can manage your emotions and create quality healthy relationships. 

If this feels familiar, you are welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation.
