Are you living with stress, anxiety, panic attacks or depression? Have you been given a mental health diagnosis and want to explore what that means for you?
Counselling can offer a safe and supportive online space for you to have a break from the stresses and strains of daily life. A place to vent or to recharge your batteries. A place where you can be yourself, knowing you will be seen and heard without bias, prejudice or judgement.
Counselling offers a unique therapeutic relationship that allows you to focus on your needs, something we often neglect.
There are many influences that contribute to our understanding of what it means to be a person living in the world today. Input from family, friends, peers and media can become confusing or overwhelming. Barriers can hold us back when we are trying to develop our own ideas of what it means to be 'Me', and this can be particularly true if we have had to navigate traumatic experiences, or we have grown up feeling somehow different to others. We may be given a diagnosis that we feel sets us apart, such as autism, ADHD, or a personality disorder.
Experiencing difficulties can often create feelings of shame, guilt and confusion that remain hidden inside, and we might try to live by other people's standards or mask our true self. Comparing ourselves to others can be helpful in some ways, but it can also cause internal conflict and result in distress.
Counselling can help you explore your own identity and focus on what is important to you, enabling you to clarify your sense of who you are and improving your self-esteem. It can help you to value any perceived differences and encourages development of positive self-acceptance.
Are you going through a difficult time? Are you trying to adjust to a new situation? Do you have a tough decision to make? Is there a major life event ahead that you are concerned about?
Life is full of beginnings, endings, loss, change, challenge and opportunity - some of our own making and others beyond our control. Whether you find change exciting, scary, or both, it can be helpful to explore how you feel, and reflect on your ideas, thoughts, and options.
Counselling can help you through the process and support you in negotiating a path through life's twists and turns.
