Can Counselling/Coaching Change your LIfe?

Counselling is like having a personal trainer who supports you in the emotional and spiritual areas of your life.

We have all experienced lows at certain times in our lives. You may be stuck in a relationship or job that isn’t bringing you joy. You may be dealing with a health condition that is challenging and is making you feel depressed. You may be dealing with an addiction, a trauma from the past or the loss of someone dear to you.

Talking to family and friends can be useful but they aren’t trained to support you professionally. Most of us may not be able to be truly honest about our feelings and emotions with people that we know because we may be ashamed, embarrassed or we may be frightened of being judged.

Fortunately these days there is increased acceptance about talking to someone about personal difficulties and mental health. Reaching out to a qualified counsellor/coach can be helpful during these challenging life events. A trained professional is not connected to your life in anyway and is able to listen without judgement or bias. Counselling/coaching is like having a personal trainer who supports you on the emotional and spiritual areas of your life.

If you bottle up your your emotions and feelings, these can manifest as stress, illness, unhappiness, disconnection from people that you care about, depression and/or anxiety. Counsellors/coaches are able to provide a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, helping you to make sense of them. Working with a therapist can help you identify certain behaviours and give you insights into why you are responding in certain ways.

Intuitive counselling/coaching will provide you with tools to help to manage your emotions. The process will also give you a deeper understanding of why you believe in certain things, why your thoughts may not be true and tools to help you change your perspective.

Intuitive counselling/coaching can help you to identify where you are stuck, your old ingrained thinking patterns and what you truly believe in and what is important to you.

Over time counselling/coaching can help you to develop new skills so that you can build better relationships, have clear boundaries and it will give you practical tools that you can use on a daily basis to help you overcome anxiety, overwhelm, strong reactions or negativity.
