How can counselling help me?

People come to therapy to look at different stages in life whether that is about the present, past or future.

Can you recall a time when you felt confident and knew how to overcome a tough situation, but are now finding it difficult?

Has the colour faded out of your life and started feeling duller and greyer, and things you used to enjoy don't feel the same?

Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately and things are not changing the way you would like?

Are you feeling stuck in your thoughts and behaviours but are unsure on how to start feeling unstuck?

Are you in need for a space where you feel supported, understood, and encouraged in your growth?

It's okay to ask for help when you need it. We all need support sometimes.

Even just looking at what support is available, is a big step towards realizing the importance of taking care of yourself..

Understandably that first step can be quite intimidating, but you are here and that is the most important thing in taking care of yourself.
