A professional counsellor provides you with a confidential space to be heard, experience relief, and gain awareness, helping you find meaning and put the pieces of your story together. It is a place to reset, connect with self and sort comfort, whilst celebrating your strengths and developing self-compassion.

Why do people come to therapy?
People come to therapy for many reasons including anxiety, overwhelm, confusion and uncertainty. Others may be experiencing relationship difficulties, struggling to manage stress, or wish to better understand themselves and why they think, feel and behave as they do.
Not everybody who comes for counselling has a specific problem. Sometimes people want to explore a general feeling that their lives are not quite right; to develop a purpose, and to learn how to make conscious and more authentic choices and decisions for themselves.

What is the difference between talking to a friend or a counsellor?
Sometimes talking to a friend can be helpful and a therapist will often encourage clients to use their family and friends. However, there are some disadvantages to using friends as your only confidants and support. Friends and family could feel a conflict of loyalty and find it hard to keep things confidential. They may become upset themselves by what you are telling them and could become upset if you don’t accept their advice.
A counsellor's training means they will
l have formal support to help them deal with upsetting and difficult situations; whereas a friend may begin to feel overburdened, especially if they have their own problems too.
