Are you searching for self-esteem?
You want to make new friends, get into a relationship or move up in your career but self-doubt is getting in the way?
Counselling can help you to live a happier, more fulfilling life by building on your confidence.
About me and my practice
Does your heart sink on a Sunday night knowing you have to go back to your dead-end job?
Do you feel unsupported at work but dont know how to speak up and ask for help?
Maybe the problem is outside of work, do you wish you had more meaningful relationships but lack the confidence to meet people?
By starting your counselling journey, you are making an investment in yourself. I know it can be daunting to take the first step and reach out, but by doing so you are bravely inviting positive changes into your future.
My counselling practice, Self Centre Counselling, can help you to believe in yourself by helping you to :
Talk about you in a safe space without being judged
In your counselling sessions you can lay everything out on the table, without anyone who knows you listening in. You can sound things out with me that you would like to try one day without being told what you should be doing instead.
Understand what causes your self-doubt
By exploring your self-doubt, together we can work out where your beliefs come from and unpick unhelpful thought patterns.
Work out your next steps
You can figure out with me what it is that you want to achieve and where you want to get to and together we can work out what the next steps are for you to get there.
My experience as a counsellor has shown me that regardless of the presenting issue, the main tool that people need from counselling is to restore the beliefs they have about themselves. I started my own counselling practice in 2022 because I wanted to give more people the opportunity to thrive and believe in themselves.
My previous clients have told me that therapy has enabled them to feel more optimistic about making changes and trying new things. They feel more able to progress at work, start new conversations and feel relaxed in new surroundings without the fear of self-doubt creeping in.
So if you are ready to start believing in yourself please get in touch to book your first appointment.
