Counselling

Most of us will go through a difficult time at some point in our lives, sometimes as a result of past traumas or in relation to current circumstances or problems.

Talking through these issues, in confidence, with a counsellor who really listens and who endeavours to be fully present and non-judgmental can be really helpful.  People find their way to a counsellor for many different reasons. Some feel they have exhausted their existing support systems, or their friends have "got fed up listening".  Others seek the confidentiality of a professional relationship or the need to talk to someone who is trained to listen.

Counselling is not about  giving advice. As a counsellor (and as a hypnotherapist) Sandra understands that her client has the resources and potential within themselves to make the changes they seek in their lives. Her role as a counsellor is to provide a safe space for self exploration and to develop a therapeutic relationship with each client that will enable and foster healing and growth. Self exploration can help to develop an increased knowledge of yourself whilst at the same time helping you to become aware of your own resources, such as your coping mechanisms,  and to make possible changes in your behaviour.

Counselling sessions usually last 50 minutes and can be arranged weekly or fortnightly to suit. Counselling may be long or short term and is at present only available for individuals.

 Supervision for counsellors is also available.
