Counselling benefits

Talking to a counsellor can help you to make sense of things. A counsellor won’t judge you; they simply want to help you with whatever difficulties you are facing.

Through counselling, you will learn that it’s OK to talk about things.  Talking about things is extremely healthy and people often find that it becomes an increasingly useful part of their everyday lives.

Improving your mental health through counselling

Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength.  Many companies now provide counselling for their employees as a contribution to good mental health.

According to statistics from the American Psychological Association, 80% of people who receive counselling report improved mental health or greater satisfaction with life after just one session.  Counselling can help you put your health first and make looking after yourself a priority.

Developing new insight

Through counselling, you’ll develop self-awareness and gain new insight using creative counselling tools and techniques, for example Journaling, Sand Tray Therapy, breathing techniques, meditation, and Emotion Cards.

There is a counsellor for every person

All counsellors are different and have different approaches.  It is important to find a counsellor who you are happy with so they can help you to become your best self.
