We all face mountains to climb in ours lives at some point, whether it’s loss, change, or a mental health challenge, any mountain can be climbed with support and a route map. Counselling can help us find our own path to heal, change, or manage our challenges in life. Counselling can give us new life tools and an independent lens on our situation, whether that’s a life decision, loss, change, or a mental health challenge. We are all different, and we are all capable of positive change with support and tools to help us.
Client centred practice espouses a ‘non-directive’ approach to counselling, where the client is helped to find their own answers to their problems. Mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioural therapy is evidence based and recognised by the WHO to be highly affective. EMDR therapy for trauma and anxiety is also recognised by WHO and ISTSS to be highly affective.
Please feel free to contact me, sometimes we face personal challenges that talking to friends and family won’t help with. To see a counsellor we don’t have to have a mental health challenge, sometimes it’s helpful to talk life decisions through, adjust to change or loss, or manage a life change with a trained professional.
