You have what you need to reach your potential. You only need to rediscover it.
Life over time will help to shape you into the person you are today. Through relationships, friendships, work and personal development, life experiences form the memories and history of your life. Sometimes however, experiences may become unhealthy, strained, even destructive if left unresolved. The emotional impact could leave you feeling anxious, depressed or worse. You may not even be aware, only that something doesn't feel right with you.
A concern for someone else may also become detrimental to your mental wellbeing. Even success can, for some, be a negative experience.
Regardless of the cause, not being able to speak with someone, anyone, for fear of being judged, misunderstood, rejected, worst still, ignored, can resulting in one feeling even more isolated and alone.
This is where counselling may be of benefit.
Counselling seeks to provide a safe space that enables you to speak openly and freely to a qualified counsellor without fear of being judged or rejected. They will listen patiently and respectfully, allowing you to express yourself honestly at your own pace and will not attempt to lead or direct, instead trusting in your ability to eventually find your way and share your experiences when you feel ready.
Counselling can feel challenging, as it can help you bring to the surface deeply held emotions and experiences which have remained hidden or forgotten. As your counsellor, I will be with you throughout, working together to aid you in your understanding continue navigate these emotions and work towards healing and growth.
