About Counselling
‘Change occurs when one becomes what he is, not when he tries to become what he is not’.The paradoxical theory of change, Arnold Beisser M.D.
We all experience difficulties at some point in our lives. Counselling aims to offer an accepting, compassionate and safe place for us to express our thoughts and feelings about whatever is troubling us at these times. I believe it is only when we accept and acknowledge ourselves as we are that healing can take place and change can occur. I also believe that we all have the resources required to grow and change but sometimes we are not aware of this and can feel stuck. Counselling helps us to be more comfortable with who we are and to discover our own innate wisdom, so that we can look beyond the immediate problem and gain new perspectives. With this increased awareness comes the possibility of making more creative choices which, in turn, enable us to lead more fulfilling lives.
What Clients Have Said They Most Value About Counselling:
- Being listened to without judgment.
- Feeling understood and realising that they are 'not the only one'.
- Having a place, outside of their immediate circle of family and friends,
where they can unburden their problems. - Gaining awareness about themselves and their relationships.
