What is Counselling Therapy?
Counselling is talk based therapy.
It may involve you doing ‘homework’ in the form of journalling or exercises to bring about new ways of looking at issues. It may involve deconstructing patterns of thinking and behaviours that may have become dysfunctional.
In counselling therapy there may be some body work or breathwork involved to help with the counselling. Issues you may bring to counselling therapy might be family or relationship issues, alcohol or drug use, traumatic experiences, grief and loss.

What to Expect
Your first session will be sharing your story and goals but you will walk away with some homework to start your journey of therapy. Each session we will grow and work through your stories and different ways to learn about your old stories. You can expect change and growth in your relationship with yourself, personal relationships and professional life.
Benefits
Counselling therapy helps you, as the Counsellor holds a safe space for you to embark on therapy. This allows you to feel heard, validated and share your experience. It will then enable strategies and goals to be set and together we can make a workable plan to achieve these. At times counselling therapy may just allow a different perspective for an issue that you may have felt ‘stuck’ with. Other times it may challenge your views or old ways of thinking.
