The First Step Counselling

About

Hello, taking the first step towards changing aspects of your life or yourself, and getting help by the means of counselling, can be extremely unnerving! I get that. That's why, as a counsellor and Psychotherapist, you will be treated without judgement; you will receive honesty and unconditional positive regard.

I believe that for a person to change significantly, to be able to grow and achieve the life that they want for themselves, they need to be able to be in an environment that encourages that- in other words- a safe, and trusting place, where they are able to be their true selves, not the masked person that we all (at times) pretend to be. Which in turn, not being our true authentic selves can be exhausting, which leads to us not be honest and genuine with ourselves, hence depression and all the other nasties can make a way into our psyche.

I have had a passion for mental health for many years now, my life has had it's high's, but also a few dark lows, which to be honest, was the reason for a career change into counselling, from teaching Primary school children. I can't promise I will be the best fit for you, because everyone is an individual and we like different qualities in others, but I will promise to listen to your story, really hear what you are saying and be with you whilst you work your way through your own therapeutic healing process from whatever life has thrown at you on a dreary Tuesday morning when you were least expecting it.

Who knows, our therapeutic relationship may be the thing you need to be the true YOU.
