Counselling in South Elmsall

Are you trying to make sense of your life right now, and don't understand what's happening or why you're not coping so well with every day life? Perhaps you feel alone from a loss or breakdown of a relationship. There could be events from your past that interfere in your life today, do you wish to explore and understand why this is happening? Maybe your emotions are becoming increasingly difficult to cope with. Are you finding your relationship with family or friends difficult or strained or perhaps you'd like to feel more confident. These are some of the challenges we face and perhaps you would like some help to overcome these.

Do you feel like past events are affecting how you cope with life today? Do thoughts swirl around and around your head and you are unsure how to move on from them? Do you feel low, confused, anxious, upset - but you just have no idea why? If yes to these, I'm sure I can help you! Life can throw a lot of curved balls at us, and unfortunately it is not always easy to forget and move on. I am here to help you develop confidence around relationships and reflect on experiences to identify the hurdles holding us back.

Often when life becomes challenging, even the strongest among us can feel lost, anxious, confused, or simply unhappy at times, leaving us feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands. Counselling can help you to explore and allow the development of your self-awareness, and confidence whilst introducing clarity, giving you a sense of empowerment and well-being. Counselling can help you to set your own boundaries, and control your own actions, thoughts, and feelings, the aim is for you to establish a solid, strong future path in life. Establishing and developing your own coping strategies and the mangement of your presenting issues.

When we experience difficult life events we develop ways of coping and finding a way forward. Later in life, this can result in behaviours and emotions that are damaging to our wellbeing and relationships, and leave us feeling stuck. It is likely that in our work together we will need to talk about your past experiences and important relationships, and explore patterns of behaviour and relating to others in the here and now. I understand how difficult and daunting that can be, and we will explore what has brought you to therapy at a pace you feel comfortable with.
