Your Issues: People enter into a counselling relationship for many
different reasons. Generally they are prompted by some crises in
their lives, "I just can't cope anymore". Or maybe they reach a point
where they feel it's time to address issues that have affected the
quality of their lives for many years. We all have 'stuff' that we
carry with us. The stuff we are aware of can generally be dealt
with satisfactorily if we give ourselves the time and space to work
through it and hopefully resolve it. As a counsellor I believe that in
order to reach our full potential as humans we need not only to deal
with the stuff we are aware of, but also the stuff that we have buried
deep within ourselves. Maybe we bury these feelings because we
have convinced ourselves that these parts of ourselves are too painful
to face. As a counsellor I hope to assist and support my clients as
they make their personal journey from old, maybe inappropriate
ways of being and beliefs about themselves to new awareness,
new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving and the resolution of
painful issues.
