Some of the Many Different Reasons for Seeking Counselling & Therapy

For many people, their hopes and expectations for the kind of life that they want to have, differ greatly from the lives they are currently living.

They may have a sense of isolation, disconnection or dissatisfaction. Maybe they experience a lack of meaning, fulfilment, contentment, peace or passion in life.

Sometimes, there can be difficult problems with an important relationship that people cannot resolve, despite their best efforts.

Some people are seeking non-judgemental, positive support to sort through important issues about sex, sexuality, and sexual identity or gender identity.

Grief and loss affect many. You may have lost a partner, relationship, job, career, friend, family member or a beloved animal.

There are losses that accompany illness, injury, disability, aging, or major life changes.

Some people are facing a life threatening illness such as cancer, or a life threatening injury. Others are facing the same life threatening circumstances in the life of their beloved partner, friend, family member or animal.

There are people whose lives have been affected by traumatic events.

Others have been physically, sexually, psychologically or emotionally abused as children or adults and suffer the negative effects of these abuses.

Counselling and therapy offer a skilful, empathetic, compassionate, confidential and supportive environment in which to talk. This provides an opportunity to explore, understand and change the things that hold you back and prevent you from reaching your potential to live the most fulfilling life possible.
