Astrug Counselling Personal Therapeutic Care
Counselling Support with Grief, Trauma,Loss,Anxiety,Guilt,Self-Esteem&more Counselling is a process, one step at a time.

Through personal therapeutic care I will help you to cope and process the challenges you are currently facing. In the confidentiality between us you can speak openly and safely about your experience, discover thoughts and feelings, and we can explore together the causes as to why you feel the way you do. The trust that we develop in our therapeutic relationship will be the foundation of healing and change. As a counsellor I will support you in finding clarity and the best solutions for what you need. I have experience especially working with bereavement and grief, loss, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, trauma. Additionally I work with identity and self-esteem, guilt, assertiveness, healthy boundaries. Choosing the right counsellor is important. It may not be an easy find as we all relate differently to each other. Ultimately the most important is perhaps feeling accepted and understood by your counsellor. I offer a 20mins get-to-know session free of charge, during which we will get a feel for each other and discuss how can we work together in the best possible way for you. Get in touch to book a slot.

IT'S HARD to imagine what to expect exactly, especially without prior experience. Let’s see some examples of counselling work with me specifically:

- Prioritise: often, when we feel overwhelmed, there are a number of topics / areas / feelings - let’s break them down, take one at a time.

- Filter: Separate bigger issues or long-term problems from what we can deal with today. Start with what we can focus on in the present to make a difference and then look at broader principles, or patterns, for the future.

- Look at attitudes: how do I see personal responsibility? Am I taking responsibility for other people or do I avoid responsibility? Do I know my boundaries?
What is my relationship to myself? How does it differ from my relationship to other people? How do I communicate with myself and with others?

- Reprogram: look at what I am telling myself - blame, labels, guilt, judgements. We will redefine those thoughts to include self-empathy, self-awareness, understanding of personal needs, conflicting needs or mixed feelings, and ways to balance and/or reconcile those.

- Investigate: What are the sources of my anxiety or low mood? Did I always have those beliefs / attitudes / feelings? How do I process difficult / traumatic experiences? How do I move on?

- Recharge: How do I care for myself? What self-care is best for me?y
