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.
