Counselling will enable you to think through an issue or work through a problem in confidence.
The Counsellor is trained to help support you during a difficult time in your life.
Talking things through may help you to understand more about what is going on for you right now. However, a Counsellor's role is not about giving advice. Instead it can help you to recognise your choices and, by doing so, will enable you to make any necessary changes in your life.
Rescuing Relationships at Home or Work
A counsellor can help a two improve communication, resolve a crisis and deal with negative behaviour patterns. Many of us are not equipped with good communication skills and the counsellor will teach you how to share your real feelings with honesty, in a safe environment, putting back the missing link in your relationship whether it is within the home or outside. Resolving problems is a challenge for most of us since we often go into crisis mode immediately a difficulty arises and therefore, by learning new ways of coping, we can achieve a positive outcome which is of benefit not only to you but also those around you.
Bereavement Counselling
Everyone reacts differently to the loss of someone dear to them. Some of us experience feelings of anger and intense pain whereas others appear unaffected or unemotional. A counsellor will listen, without interrupting, giving you the time to talk, cry or even shout and in doing so will help you to sort out your feelings amongst all the chaos.
Sexual Problems
Counselling and Hypnotherapy can help greatly with Premature Ejaculation, Erectile Dysfunction, Impotence, Orgasmic Dysfunction, Vaginismus and general lack of sexual enjoyment. All of these issues may be triggered by negative childhood messages, sexual trauma, relationship difficulties, performance anxiety or inexperience which can result in a lack of confidence, sense of failure and low self esteem. Whether you are gay, straight or bi-sexual, by talking in a comfortable, safe and confidential environment, these problems can often be resolved in just a few sessions.
In some cases I may suggest to you that a session of hypnotherapy may help the counselling process or vice versa. The problem you have may be deep-rooted and since the two therapies complement each other I often combine them - however, the final choice will be yours - I may advise but I never insist !
