Counselling for women and men in Somerset and Wiltshire

Counselling for Women

Of course all issues effect women but some more than others, for example, low self confidence and depression, eating disorders and dealing with anger are some of the areas where counselling can help. We will address the issue that is particular to you.

Anxiety and Stress

We all feel stressed at some times but when feelings of tension, irritability and even panic become overwhelming or out of our control, it is time to address them. We will look at where these feelings are coming from. We will also identify ways of managing, and so lowering, your stress.

Bereavement and Loss

Someone close to you may have died recently or in the past. You may feel overwhelmed by painful feelings. You may feel 'stuck' or unable to cope with day to day life. Together we will begin the process of coming to terms with your loss, completely at your own pace.

Depression

Feeling depressed may be feeling low, negative, lacking motivation, experiencing life as out of our control and perhaps even feeling suiicidal. We will explore the root causes of your depression. We will try to understand your feelings with a view to lifting your depression.
 

Counselling for Men

Of course all issues effect men but some more than others, for example, low self confidence, depression and dealing with anger are some of the areas where counselling can help. We will address the issue that is particular to you.

Low Self Confidence

You may not feel sure of yourself. You may feel worthless. You may have difficulties with people in social situations. As you are listened to, respected and not judged in the relationship with your counsellor, you will begin to find your true self, believe in yourself and grow in self confidence.

Couples Counselling - Relationship Problems

These can be sexual relationships, divorce and separation, relationships with our parents and siblings, etc. Together we will explore your feelings about the relationship and how both you and the other person are communicating.

Sexual Abuse

We will work towards healing the wound of being sexually abused as a child and the feelings that arise through this such as anger, guilt and shame.
