Clarity Counselling.....talking freely, being heard and feeling valued.
What is counselling?
Counselling can come In many forms. Most talking therapies involve sitting with the counsellor and talking about what's brought you to the counselling room. I am offering face to face sessions , email and telephone sessions and walk and talk therapy and support. My approach is person centered and tailored to the individual. I do not give advice. I offer a safe space for you to 'Be you' and to enable you to look at things from different perspectives which will allow you to explore yourself and also the issues which you bring to the counselling sessions . Counselling can be short or long term. This is down to what you feel is most helpful. I offer a safe space for you to explore your issues and offer support to allow you to feel more positive about yourself and increase self worth , alleviate pain and distress and ultimately reach your goals. Counselling isn't a magic cure , it is a process of exploration and self awareness, to enable clarity, self worth and growth.
Is counselling for me ?
Counselling isn't for Everyone. I offer an initial assessment where we can talk about your expectations of the therapy process. This initial assessment is more like a chat , how I can help you and how you can help yourself also. This is free of charge and usually takes around 10 minutes. I offer face to face sessions, email Counselling and telephone counselling and support. All information is kept strictly confidential. This will be discussed in more detail when we initially meet /speak
