Mental health is crucial for overall well-being, and finding the right therapist can make all the difference. I understand that the process can be overwhelming, but I’m here to help. It's important to find a therapist who you feel comfortable with and who can help you achieve your goals. Healing usually doesn’t happen if you don’t build a strong therapeutic relationship with your counsellor.

Counselling is a powerful tool that can help individuals overcome a wide range of challenges. Whether you're struggling with mental health issues, relationship problems, career difficulties, or other personal concerns, counselling can provide the support and guidance you need to improve your well-being and achieve your goals.

Our counselling services can help you address a variety of issues including but not limited to:

• Managing stress and anxiety

• Overcoming depression

• Improving relationships

• Coping with loss and grief

• Building self-esteem

• Managing anger and other strong emotions

• Increasing resilience and coping skills

• Improving communication and problem-solving skills

I am an experienced and compassionate counsellor who is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. I work with you to understand your unique needs and create a personalised treatment plan that will work best for you. We offer a safe and confidential space to help you navigate the challenges of life, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

The number of counselling sessions needed can vary for each individual. The length of treatment depends on a variety of factors such as the nature and severity of the issue, personal goals, and the person's response to therapy.

In general, some people may find relief from their symptoms and achieve their goals in just a few sessions, while others may require longer-term therapy. It's important to remember that therapy is a collaborative process, and the number of sessions required will be discussed and reviewed regularly.

I offer both short-term and long-term counselling options. I will work with you to establish your specific needs and goals, and to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs. We will regularly review your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure that you are getting the support and guidance you need to achieve your goals.

I understand that seeking counselling can be a big step and that everyone's needs are different. I’m here to work with you to find the best plan that fits you, your situation and your goals

The healing process is different for everyone, and the timeline for improvement can vary greatly. It's important to remember that therapy is a process, and progress may not always be linear.

It's normal to have ups and downs, and you may experience moments of feeling better and then feeling worse. This is a natural part of the therapeutic process. With the help of a qualified counsellor, you will learn the skills and strategies to cope with these challenges, and to make progress towards your goals.

It's important to have realistic expectations for the therapy process. Some individuals may start to feel better within the first few sessions, while others may take longer. It's important to understand that therapy is not a magic cure, but a process that requires time, patience, and effort.

We understand that seeking counselling can be a challenging and emotional experience, and we believe that having support is important. We encourage you to bring someone you trust to support you during the therapy process. This person could be a friend, family member, or partner, and they can be present during your sessions to provide emotional support.

Having a support system in place can be beneficial to your recovery and can help you feel more comfortable and at ease during the therapeutic process. They can also play a role in helping you process the information and insights that you gain during your sessions, and in helping you put the lessons learned into practice outside of therapy.

It's important to note that while the presence of a support person can be beneficial, the focus of the therapy session remains on the individual seeking counseling. I will work with you to establish your specific needs and goals, and will conduct the session with your best interest in mind.

In counselling we believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and we welcome the participation of support persons in the therapy process. If you have any questions or concerns about bringing someone to support you, please feel free to discuss it with me.
