As much as we want to talk to our friends, family and loved ones etc, sometimes they just aren't able to really hear us. Or to the contrary, we may find it really hard to open up and talk about our experiences at all.
You may be experiencing strong emotional reactions that you don't understand or that you find challenging to sit with and work through.
You may be spending alot of energy putting on a brave face. On one hand you may not want others to see how much you are suffering while on the other, you may feel isolated and as if no-one cares.
You may even feel confused and exhausted and not know which way to turn.
At times, when you feel overwhelmed with emotions, stuck or simply need a space to be really heard, it can be helpful to have someone understand things from your point of view. That's where counselling can be of benefit.
I offer a compassionate, non judgemental, confidential space where you can be seen and heard. In this space we can explore what is going on for you in order to facilitate thoughts and feelings being heard, worked through and released.
You are in charge of the pace of the session and you don't have to talk about anything you don't feel comfortable to share.
