Counselling in Shrewsbury for Anxiety, Trauma Recovery and Life Transitions
If you've landed on this page, there's a reasonable chance you're considering counselling as an option for you. You might also be wondering if I'm the right person to guide, support and help you along your journey.
The thought of coming to counselling may seem scary. However, talking about the things that are troubling you with someone who is here to listen, can help you to feel less alone in the world. I'm interested in learning about you, your concerns, your anxieties, how you see things and exploring your thoughts and feelings.
Initially, you may find it difficult to talk about how you're feeling and what you're going through. That's okay. All relationships are built on trust and it's important that you feel comfortable and connected during our working relationship. I won't tell you what to do and I won't judge you; no matter what issues you bring to counselling. Instead, I'll work with you, offering you help and support to achieve what feels right and what works best for you.
Get in touch for a free 20 minute phone consultation to discuss what's troubling you and I'll let you know how I can help.
Life transitions involve change. Even positive changes can create anxiety, stress and uncertainty. Adapting to change can be challenging; learning to embrace change creates new opportunities.
