People often seek out counselling when they are experiencing change in their life that feels overwhelming or frightening and are in a place where they feel powerless or stuck. They (or others around them) may notice their mood is low or be experiencing conflicting emotions (from happy to teary or even angry outbursts towards others) sleep and appetite may be disrupted and ways of coping may be unhealthy.
Therapeutic counselling can be helpful for individuals to gain greater understanding of the self and the process of change that is being experienced, explore coping methods, learn strategies for self care and reconnect with meaning in daily living
The following are some of the areas I have helped clients with through therapeutic counselling;
Addiction
Anger
Anxiety and Panic
