Kirstie - Talking Therapy & Counselling
For me, counselling is about giving space to the wholeness of you. It rests on the simple, yet too often elusive values of feeling truly seen and heard; where judgement is replaced by deep empathy and compassion, especially for the most challenging parts of ourselves.

For me, counselling is about giving space to the wholeness of you. It rests on the simple, yet too often elusive values of feeling truly seen and heard; where judgement is replaced by deep empathy and compassion, especially for the most challenging parts of ourselves. It is about making greater sense of the here and now – often in relation to the there and then of our past – in a way that facilitates greater self-awareness, self-compassion and a grounded self-confidence in who we are today.
The therapeutic environment can be used to offload and reflect on the complexities of everyday life or to explore a diverse range of issues which might be affecting you, including: anxiety, depression, loneliness, childhood experiences, living with (neuro)diversity, grief, loss, panic, low self-esteem, stress, relationship difficulties, family challenges, work or study stress, bullying, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, attachment patterning and trauma. The practise of talking therapy encourages you to dictate the pace and content of your sessions, allowing your journey to unfold at its own pace within the insightful, supportive, unconditional holding space of the therapy room.
Most of us can feel uncertain about taking this kind of step inwards, towards ourselves. It may feel like a daunting prospect and there will always be a host of compelling reasons not to. Yet there is also the promise of such greatness in making that move inwards, towards our own personal capacity for healing, self-compassion and growth.
