Counselling for Adults
Have you ever done something that you wished you hadn’t done or said something that you really didn’t understand why you said it? Do you sometimes repeat the same behaviour over and over again, while not really wanting to? Do you ever have dark thoughts that you don’t understand which you don’t want to have in your head? Sometimes we do, say and think things that we don’t and often can’t understand when thinking through it by ourselves. That’s when counselling can really help
Counselling offers a safe place to talk in confidence with someone who can offer another perspective. Having that protected space, where you can think out loud, can be the starting point for change. Knowing that whatever you share will remain within the walls where we meet — that your words will be thoughtfully considered, and your feelings cared for and held with respect — can bring a deep sense of safety. No limits are placed on what is appropriate to say, so whatever you need to express will be welcome and accepted.
As a Psychodynamic Counsellor, my work with you involves exploring how your past may be affecting your present. By providing a space to examine your thoughts and emotions, together we can consider what has happened, your responses to life events, and notice patterns in your behaviour. I will listen as you explore these experiences, attuned to the unconscious communications that emerge, and help you to connect with thoughts and feelings at a deeper level.
I will work alongside you to deepen your understanding of yourself and help you find your own path. My aim is to support you in developing greater self-awareness and trust in yourself, empowering you to make the changes needed to lead a more satisfying and meaningful life. While we can’t alter the past, we can learn to view it differently, finding ways that bring less pain and greater clarity.
