Perhaps you are finding life difficult at the moment and you would value help to find your way through being 'stuck'. Life can sometimes lead to emotional difficulties, feelings of stress, which affect our relationships or work. Counselling offers the opportunity to talk through your thoughts and feelings, helping you identify, explore and understand what doesn’t feel right within. The issues you are facing might be leading to low self-esteem, confusion, depression, addiction, suicidal thoughts or self-harm. Counselling can help you develop internal resources, and alternative ways of thinking to help you move forward in your life.
I work with warmth and integrity, to build a confidential empathic relationship, to enable therapeutic change, empowering clients to express feelings and bring clarity to experiences. In this safe space you can explore past and present experiences, without judgement or criticism. Each person is unique, and I adapt my theoretical approach to meet your needs.
Taking that first step into counselling may be unnerving, but it could be the first step to growing in self-understanding and confidence. Recent clients said "Elaine was amazing, I am leaving therapy a completely different person to the one that started, thankyou for showing me that it is possible to live a happy life", EW; and "A brilliant therapist" JD.
