Common issues treated

__________

Stress and Anger Management

Stress is usually our body’s reaction to life situations. Stress is affecting our feelings and thoughts, and then our body.

Anger is often our reaction to stress.

Stress at Work

Many people can face difficulties at work: i.e. performance issues, poor job fit or it can get even worse: bullying, harassment, discrimination, etc. Some people can sort it themselves, some people manage work stress by talking to a mental health professional.

Eating Disorder

Eating disorders can appear with stress and when people stop controlling their food intake. People can eat too much or too little, or struggle to eat anything at all. Eating disorders can bring emotional distress, health problems and in severe cases can cause life.

Child Related Issues

It’s important to notice your child’s behaviour. How they act gives clues to how they feel. If you suspect your child is finding it difficult to cope, look out for the warning signs.

Young People Counselling

The teenage years are notoriously difficult for both parents and children. Young people are going through a period of intense psychological and physical change, as well as facing pressures at school or with friends.

Abuse – Emotional, Physical, Verbal, Sexual

All forms of abuse can cause serious harm, psychological stress and suffering.

Being a victim of any form of abuse is a traumatic experience.

In the event of violence, you should always seek help!

Avoiding Conflict

Avoiding conflict is common when people are feeling vulnerable to express their true feelings and thoughts. This can cause frustration, loss of sleep, stress and other issues.

What happens in counselling?

On our own we tend to avoid pain – that’s simply human nature. But hiding under the duvet doesn’t work. It doesn’t do anything to change our feelings or the circumstances of life. It’s only with professional help that we can understand and work through our problems.

 

In the first instance, a counsellor helps you realise exactly what it is that you feel. Just saying it out loud can be a huge relief. Then we explore more fully how you got here and what to do now. Working through your thoughts and emotions can take courage. But remember the aim isn’t to dwell on the difficulties. It’s to help you release the past and become free.

 

 

WHY DO I NEED IT?

WHY DO I NEED IT?

Going through pain, confusion or distress is immensely lonely.
And when life deals you one blow after another, it’s almost impossible to believe that things can change.

HELP DOES EXIST

HELP DOES EXIST

You can come through whatever you are feeling now and you don’t have to do it alone. Sharing things with a warm and understanding counsellor, who intuitively gets just how tough things are, can bring you through the dark times.

A PROCESS

COUNSELLING IS A PROCESS

In the first instance, a counsellor helps you realise exactly what it is that you feel. Just saying it out loud can be a huge relief. Then we explore more fully how you got here and what to do now.
