Do I need counselling?

What is counselling?

Counselling is a safe, confidential space to talk with someone trained to listen without judgement. I won't tell you what to do. Instead, I'll help you notice patterns, make sense of what you're feeling and find a way forward that feels right for you.

You are the expert on your own life. But when stress, illness or loss take over, it can be hard to see clearly. Counselling helps you slow down, be kinder to yourself and feel more like you again.

You don't need a diagnosis

If you're asking the question, that is often answer enough. Counselling can simply be a form of self-care, and reaching out early can stop difficulties from becoming overwhelming.

Signs counselling could help

• —You're feeling low, flat or tearful
• —You're living with anxiety or panic attacks
• —You're sleeping badly, or sleeping too much
• —Life feels overwhelming and hard to make sense of
• —You're coping with a health condition, such as MS, or fertility treatment
• —You're grieving the loss of someone close to you
• —Relationships are causing you stress or pain
• —Your inner critic is harsh and constant
