Why Come To Counselling?

There are many different reasons why people seek counselling. You might be dealing with stress, anxiety or depression; or you might be struggling with other overwhelming emotions that feel difficult to handle alone. These feelings might also lead to recurring patterns of negative thoughts or behaviours and counselling offers a safe space to explore and work through these issues.

Life transitions, such as changing jobs or retiring, the end of a relationship or coping with grief can leave you feeling lost or uncertain, and a counsellor can help guide you through these difficult periods.

You might have had significant events in your life that continue to impact your day-to-day living and you might feel you need help processing this to move on. Or you might have feelings that are more difficult to grasp, maybe feeling stuck, anxious or depressed and these feelings may seem to have no obvious cause.

Whatever is making you feel distressed or unhappy, talking about it with a trained counsellor, who you can trust and who listens without judgment can be an empowering step for you to find a way forward that feels truly right for you.

And finally…

Counselling is not just for crisis moments. It can also be a proactive way to support your personal growth, improve relationships, and boost overall mental health. Whether you're looking to understand yourself better, manage stress, or navigate difficult life circumstances, working with a counsellor can lead to greater self-awareness and long-term well-being.
