Who I Work With
Are any of the following statements
true for you?
"I find myself in unfulfilling or painful relationships." When you look back
you might see a pattern in your
relationships and change feels difficult,
impossible, or you don't know where
to start.
"I don't know how to cope with a big change in my life." Perhaps a death, a separation, a birth, a new relationship, an illness or redundancy. Your life has changed and it is difficult to imagine how to live with the change.
"I experience feelings of loneliness and isolation." It is difficult to talk to friends, family and colleagues about how you feel and you are worried that they won’t understand, that they don’t have the time, or you are concerned about burdening them.
"I often feel anger or rage." You have powerful feelings of anger or rage, which can come unexpectedly and feel beyond your control. Your feelings might seem out of proportion with the situation and perhaps cause you to act in ways that you later regret.
"I compare myself unfavourably to other people." Others seem to be more confident/successful/happy than you. You want to connect, to make friends and build relationships, but feel that others will not be interested in you. You might even appear happy and confident on the outside, but inside you feel empty and unfulfilled.
"I feel that I am not making a valuable contribution in my life." It seems that time is slipping by, that you are being held back, that nothing of significance is happening and your life lacks meaning and purpose.
"I want to deepen my self-awareness." You are already familiar with therapeutic self-exploration and are open to further developing your insight as part of your personal or professional growth.
If any of these statements describe you or sound similar to the way that you see yourself, it is likely that counselling could help.
I Work With People Who Want To:
- Experience more satisfying relationships and find some relief from painful and dissatisfying feelings, patterns and behaviours.
- Express anger and other powerful emotions in ways that will help them to meet their needs.
- Connect with purpose and meaning in their lives.
- Contribute to the happiness and well-being of themselves and others around them.
- Express their worth and uniqueness through their relations with others, their work and interests.
Who Can Benefit From Counselling With Me?
If any of the following are true for you, you will probably benefit from counselling:
You feel that you can’t go on with a relationship or situation. This might include difficult or painful feelings or uncomfortable patterns that you have noticed recurring in your life.
Your day-to-day life is affected by difficult emotions. Perhaps your feelings of sadness, anger, shame, guilt or hopelessness make your home and work life difficult.
You are prepared to make a commitment to see if counselling could help. You are not sure if counselling is for you (or which counsellor) and will commit to an initial period of working to help you make your decision
You have already taken steps to make life feel better. You may have spoken to friends, made some changes. Counselling is rarely the first step you will have taken. The fact that you are looking for a counsellor shows you are already taking steps!
You want to deepen the self-exploration that you have already undertaken. Perhaps you have already experienced counselling or therapy, or are a counsellor-in-training, and want to further your self-understanding.

Many of us choose
counselling at some time
in our lives when we
meet with difficulties
and challenges. We
meet suffering and
setbacks as:
adults
children
partners
husbands
wives
adult sons and daughters
brothers and sisters
colleagues
parents
and whether we are:
living in families
living alone
in a relationship
wanting a relationship
facing an ending
wanting change
fearing change
experiencing change
For some of us the
challenges that we meet
might be specific crises
or difficulties, for others
they may be more
general feelings of stress
or dissatisfaction.
Counselling offers an
opportunity for us to
understand more about
ourselves and our
relationships - who and
how we are in the world
- and can offer
alternative perspectives
and ways of exploring
our experiences. |
