Is Counselling Right for Me?
Life can be full of challenges. At times, we all experience difficulties such as stress, anxiety, low mood, or relationship struggles that can feel overwhelming to manage on our own. Therapy and counselling provides a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly about your thoughts and feelings, explore patterns in your life, and develop healthier ways of coping.
Which Issues Can Counselling Help With?
Counselling offers a supportive, non-judgemental environment where you can better understand yourself and your experiences. This process can help reduce feelings of isolation, improve self-awareness, and create opportunities for lasting change.
Many people seek counselling for a wide range of reasons, including:
Anxiety, worry, and stress
Depression or low mood
Grief and bereavement
Relationship difficulties
Low self-esteem or self-confidence
Coping with major life changes
What to Expect from Therapy Sessions
Each person’s therapeutic journey is unique. Some individuals may benefit from short-term work focused on a specific concern, while others choose longer-term therapy to explore deeper issues. Approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), or Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be used, depending on your needs and goals.
What matters most is finding a space where you feel heard and supported. Over time, therapy can help you gain clarity, build resilience, and develop strategies that make life feel more manageable.
