Counselling can be of benefit to anyone; don't worry about your issue being too big, too complicated, too embarrassing or not bad enough... There are no pre-requisites; you can simply turn up as you are and bring your own unique experience of that which is troubling you.

It may be that life has thrown a challenge, transition or unexpected event on your path; you are left feeling overwhelmed, confused and lost; somehow you cannot find a way through. Or perhaps your issue is harder to define; you just feel that something has not been right for a quite some time; you might feel unsure of who you really are, feel unsatisfied or unfulfilled.

You have tried talking to friends and family, but feel misunderstood, are worried that your issue is too much of a burden to the other person or you feel too ashamed to express all there is to say. You might feel that you should not even be thinking or feeling the way that you do; what do you really have to complain about. You tried self-help books and resources, but no matter what you try, you are still feeling alone, stuck, confused or unsure about your sense of direction.

Counselling provides a safe space for you to share your thoughts and concerns; you can share all aspects of your life, relationships and experiences in one place and without needing to worry. It is about feeling heard and understood in how you experience your life and the challenges your are facing. Counselling is not about giving advice; it is about empowering you to uncover your own solutions and create the changes you desire through new insights and understanding.
