About Counselling

“You don’t have to do it alone”

A problem shared is a problem halved.

Our feelings are created by the way we think about or interpret the situations we are facing. We mostly understand what is happening around us through the lens of previous life experiences, relationships and the way we view our capabilities of handling things. We match events against our internalised concepts of fair and unfair, using our self-perception and our internal locus of evaluation (self-value) to determine how much we are under attack, often triggering the fight, flight, freeze process or an emotional tornado of different proportions that may manifest itself through energised negative emotions such as anger, panic or stress, or through low energy emotions such as despair, hopelessness and depression

Counselling is about working through the layers of emotions to discover the beliefs and life scripts that are causing them. It is about learning about ourselves and what are the stumbling blocks that are tripping up our wellbeing and emotional health.
