Hi, my name is Sue and I'm a qualified counsellor/therapist. For many years I struggled with what life had dealt me and it was through counselling that I began to realise that none of us choose the life we are born into. Through counselling and therapy I learnt that it can help people find the inner strength to live more fulfilling lives, unhindered by the fears, stresses and emotional responses that have been holding them back for so long. It's very clear to me that the most important factor in enabling counselling/therapy to do its work, is the building of a safe relationship between client and counsellor/therapist – a relationship based on a genuine connection, where honesty and true respect is allowed to thrive. When you get this right, the process of change can begin to move freely.
Hi I'm Stuart and I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor (which basically means I believe that my clients hold the answers to their own lives). Having experienced counselling myself I remember how difficult it was making those first initial steps and not knowing what therapy was all about and I always keep this in mind when working with clients. I have seen how counselling can help with stress;anxiety;anger;confidence;depression and self esteem issues, it won't make them magically go away but given time you will feel more able to cope with life's problems and lead a more fufilling life. The journey of client and counsellor is both very personal and unique and I feel priviledged to be able to share in my clients growth. I believe people can change if given a chance and they are willing to try remember "if you do what you have always done , you'll get what you've always got!"M.Twain.
