Online or Phone Counselling for Adults – Finding a way forward
People standing on eachother's shoulders

“Lisa is a wonderful listener who not only makes you feel heard and understood but helps you to develop the tools to deal with different situations. Having dealt with a lot of trauma the past few years, talking to Lisa has meant I have processed what I went through and can now deal with it in a different and more positive way. I look forward to our weekly sessions as I know I will be speaking to someone who can help me process my thoughts in a safe, non- judgmental space.” Client J

 

What brings people to counselling?

  • Do you, or someone close to you, have cancer or other serious illnesses?
  • Are you finding it hard to adjust to the loss of a loved one?
  • Are you trying to overcome a traumatic life event?
  • Are there aspects of your life you would like to change?
  • Do you feel as though your life is lacking in purpose?
  • Do you have big decisions to make?
  • Would you like to find new ways to cope with situations that can’t be changed?
  • Are you unhappy in your relationship?
  • Would you like to make sense of the way you think and behave in certain situations?
  • Do you want to gain in confidence and self-esteem?
  • “When I heard the word cancer I freaked. It felt like you were with me every step of the roller-coaster cancer journey. You were the only one who understood why I felt so lost when the treatment ended, and you have helped me to work out how to move forward with my life. Thank you.” PJ

    “Everyone was telling me to leave him, so it was a relief to speak to you because you let me work it out for myself and go at my own pace. The questions you asked me really got me thinking about what was important to me and I know I arrived at the right decision. Thank you for your help.” OT

     
    How can counselling help?

    It can help to talk to someone neutral, who does not judge you, and who you do not need to protect from what you are going through, about your thoughts and feelings.

    Counselling can provide you with a safe and confidential space to:

  • Offload to someone who can listen without judgement
  • Develop a deeper understanding of yourself or situation
  • Consider your options
  • Identify coping strategies and resources
  • Find a way forward
  • Should you choose to see me for counselling sessions, my role is to support you whilst you discuss and explore your issues and concerns.

    Whilst I cannot tell you what to do, my role is to help you find the best way forward for you. In some instances, this might involve making significant changes, and in others, finding ways to cope differently.

    Counsellors may be trained in a range of theoretical approaches. My own model is integrative which means I have blended certain theories together. I am happy to discuss my approach with you further should you decide to get in contact.

    “We really appreciated Lisa’s guidance as to how we could support our children through such devastating times. It was so reassuring to speak with someone who had knowledge and experience of children’s grief. Thank you.” P & S

    “I was sceptical at first but seeing you made such a difference. Talking to you about my feelings and being able to let it all out really helped. You helped me to realise that it was normal to feel like that after losing my partner, and that I wasn’t going mad! I never imagined that my sadness or anger would fade, nor that I would ever smile again. But now, things do feel different. The flashbacks have stopped, I am back at work, and although my life will never be the same again, I do feel hopeful that I will come through this.” LR

    “Through counselling I learnt so much about myself, and now I value myself much more and am able to assert myself and not get taken advantage of any more. Thank you!” JP
