How Counselling can help you
Your counselling appointments provide a confidential space to explore, talk through any challenges or concerns that are troubling you. You will have the opportunity to feel acknowledged, heard and supported outside of your own social/family circles of support.
At AlexTLC we are aware that It can feel daunting to reach out for support for oneself, and acknowledge this as a significant step towards building self-compassion and helping you to feel as well as you can.
Clients have noticed counselling can be helpful in many ways here are a few examples:
- Looking after feelings, emotions, or thoughts
- Managing stress and anxiety
- Losses and grief
- Dealing with changes
- Managing and creating boundaries
- Communication
- Advocating for Self and love-ones
- Considering own needs and self-care
- Trauma
