| Counselling and Psychotherapy offer a safe space
in which to share and explore experiences and feelings with a trained
person in trust and confidentiality. They each offer a relationship
in which to explore and uncover the difficulties and challenges connected
to being who you are and with living your life in the way you might
want to. Counselling may start with areas of difficulty that you have already identified and explore ways of becoming more reflective and creative about dealing with these current issues. Counselling is usually shorter term. Psychotherapy works at a deeper level of the psyche and may involve an exploration of patterns of behaviour, relationship patterns and long-standing issues from childhood which may be affecting the way you live your life in the present. Psychotherapy is usually longer term. Issues that clients often bring to me are: anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, problems with self-esteem, loss and bereavement, illness, life transitions, abuse and many others. |
