Why choose counselling and how to choose a counsellor who is right for you
Why choose counselling and how to choose a counsellor who is right for you. For many reasons people find that talking to a counsellor is helpful.
It could be that there has been a trauma or major change to your life which is causing distress but you find difficulty expressing your feelings fully to loved ones. It maybe that you are not clear what is causing you distress but have a feeling that things are not right in your life and you want to find a way to find more fulfilment and or happiness.
Whatever the reason counselling can help you with this by offering you a safe and confidential space to explore the issues which are negatively affecting your life. When choosing a counsellor I would recommend that you choose someone who is registered with a professional body as this ensures they are fully trained but also ensures that they adhere to codes of conduct, have ongoing training, supervision and insurance to ensure safe practice. I would say that there is a counsellor for everyone and I would advise you meet with a counsellor and see if you feel comfortable talking to them before making your decision.
I offer a free initial consultation lasting 20 minutes to help you decide if I would be the best person to support you.
