Why seek help from a counsellor?

Life challenges us in many ways and people experience difficulties or problems at some time in their lives. We can become overwhelmed and confused within certain situations; we may notice increasing anxiety and panic; we may have relationship issues; we can struggle with illness, death, loss, change, and transitions. We can have difficulty in finding answers and directions that feel right for us. There may also be some areas of our lives that we would like to understand more clearly, change or improve. These are some of the challenges faced in everyday life that clients bring to counselling.

Counselling offers an opportunity to express ourselves without fear of judgement and to be able to look at ourselves and our lives in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. It can help us to see things from different perspectives while allowing space to clarify our own thoughts and feelings. With a clearer understanding, different choices can be explored and made. Working with a counsellor can also be helpful in developing new strategies and ways of problem-solving.

From my easily accessible venue in Maesteg, South Wales, I aim to provide a confidential, caring space where clients feel free to express themselves, in the clear knowledge that they will be heard and accepted without judgement. Within this safe working relationship, clients have the opportunity to understand themselves more fully and bring about the changes and life choices that, on an individual basis, feel beneficial for them.
