Some reasons you may wish to consider counselling:
Experiencing anxiety and the physical and mental distress it brings with it. The all consuming thoughts and feelings and the unshakable feeling that it will never end.
Experiencing depression and the dark hopelessness that leads to shutting down and withdrawing.
Behaviours and coping strategies that are either damaging or cause distress to us or those around us.
Perfectionism and procrastination that can be crippling and make it impossible to start or try anything where there is the perceived risk of failure.
Traumatic experiences that leave us trapped in the moment, overwhelmed by them and unable to move on in life.
Needing to develop your sense of self and explore who you are.
How counselling can help:
Understanding where beliefs and behaviours come from and the purpose they serve can bring the opportunity for change
Learning about who you are can build understanding and confidence in yourself
Learning to trust yourself can bring less reliance on the judgement and perspective of others, reducing anxiety
Learning how your behaviours protect you can bring the opportunity to be kind to yourself
