Hello ….. I would like to acknowledge the courage it takes to admit “I’m not coping and I need to talk to someone”. Deciding to see a Counsellor is often a series of lots of little steps. Maybe you have been struggling for a very long time. Picking up the phone and making the appointment and then attending your first counselling session are all enormous steps that takes great strength.
The reason why I decided on the name “All Sorts Counselling” is because I see all sorts of people (women & men), all ages (over 17) and from all walks of life, come to counselling, with all sorts of problems. As a Counsellor I have all sorts of unique ways to help my clients connect with their inner self & feel empowered to take small steps towards feeling better.
As your Counsellor, I will provide a professional, safe, confidential, non-judgemental trauma informed, space for you to:
TALK
Talking for some people does not come easy. It can make us feel vulnerable, ashamed or weak. Talking to a trained professional is completely different to talking with a friend. Counselling is an opportunity to talk freely about any problems that may be contributing to feeling stressed, overwhelmed, sad, worried or maybe angry. This experience then leads to be being heard, understood, empowered and to experience self compassion.
Speaking out loud helps you put things into perspective to clarify what action you need to take.
As Brene Brown says “talking brings shame out of hiding and brings an end to silence” . Being vulnerable leads to courage and discovering inner strength.
EXPLORE
Explore your thoughts, feelings & personal issues, to then understand your problem;
Develop new helpful thinking habits,
Understanding your feelings to heal emotional pain that might be holding you back;
Identify your own inner strengths and utilise them to create the strategies to make the changes and overcome problems.
EXPERIENCE
A time to pause and reflect
Process & experience unexpressed emotions in a safe environment
Using my own unique, therapy in action techniques, I can support you in embodying skills learnt during the session.
GROW
The thought of growing and changing can feel like stepping into the unknown. As your Counsellor, I can empower you to take those small steps whether that be incorporating self care strategies, finding your voice & setting boundaries, to bigger steps such as changing careers or ending unhealthy relationships.
Process & experience unexpressed emotions in a safe environment
Using my own unique, therapy in action techniques, I can support you in embodying skills learnt during the session that you can continue into every day life.
I am passionate about helping people feel calmer, more confident, heal from painful experiences, improve relationships, overcome obstacles and developing self compassion. I will also assist you in developing and practicing tools that you can use in your life after therapy. I consider it an honour to support you in your journey.
