Counselling is series of one-to-one sessions between you and your counsellor. It can help you address personal and emotional issues that may be causing you distress.
Counselling offers an opportunity to talk confidentially to someone impartial, so you are free to explore how you feel and be supported, without judgment.
It can help you to understand issues so you can make your own choices, reach your own decisions and to act on them in a way that feels right for you.
What to expect from counselling
Within your initial counselling appointment your counsellor will discuss with you any previous experiences or expectations from the counselling process.
Everyone experiences counselling differently and for some they may experience a sense of relief as they begin their counselling sessions.
Clients may initially feel more anxious or distressed as they begin their sessions especially as they begin to bring their attention to difficult emotions or experiences.
Everyone experiences the counselling process differently and it’s always best to share any concerns you have with your counsellor during your sessions.
