RESTORE HOPE COUNSELLING

Counsellor - specialising in NHS approved Counselling for Depression

WHY COUNSELLING?

Speaking with a counsellor is unlike talking with a friend or famiy member. The focus is on you and your mental, emotional and relational health. 

I have collated a list of common things clients often tell me about their experience of counselling. I hope this  may help you decide if counselling is for you:

​

• It felt good to have time in the week for me.

• Work was really bothering me, I couldn't concentrate with all the stress but I know what to do now.

• You helped me look at some painful things I was really avoiding.

• I feel like myself again.

• Not worrying about how I was coming across helped me open up.

• off loading has helped me through the tricky times.

• My understanding of why I do things has helped.

• Haivng space here has helped me see my problems more clearly.

• You have given me some skills and tips to equip me to commnicate better.

• I have more confidence now.

• I was initially skeptical but I am so glad I stuck with it.

• I have some tools now and am coping better at work.

• My ability to make decisions has come back.

• Managing my stress is much easier now.

• I am more able to say what I want now and value myself more

• Letting things go has been helpful

• I feel lighter.

• There is more to do but I can handle that myself now.
