Why Counselling?

Let’s face it, it can be difficult to find the right sort of help and support when you most need it.

You may have already tried different ways of helping yourself, with varying degrees of success.

Alternatively, you may have turned to friends or family for assistance.

However, it can be difficult for people who are close to you to be detached and impartial.

Furthermore, it can sometimes be hard to talk to them about certain problems about which you may feel embarrassed or ashamed.

That’s what makes talking to a Counsellor different.

Counselling gives you the opportunity, time and space to talk freely and tell your story.

It also gives you a private, safe and confidential setting in which to express yourself, free from interruptions.

For my part, I will

• Listen to you attentively and patiently, while you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours
• Value what you say
• Respond to you with compassion and empathy
• Warmly accept you as you are, without judgement or criticism
• Strive to understand you as fully as possible
• Relate to you in an honest and genuine manner

While I am trained and skilled in providing the optimum conditions for effective therapeutic relationships, I firmly believe that you are the expert in your own life.

You have an innate ability to grow and develop, even if, at this time in your life, that may have become blocked.

Our counselling relationship will be very much a collaborative or two-way process, where we both have a part to play.

My job does not involve telling you what to do or giving you advice.

You are in control of any changes you wish to make.

I will, nevertheless, support and guide you to find your own unique solutions to your problems.

How you can benefit from counselling and therapy

Counselling and therapy are highly effective with recent research showing that 80 per cent of clients benefit.

Of course, exactly how you benefit will be unique to you.

But by feeling heard, understood and accepted, you will hopefully feel able to identify any changes required to improve the parts of your life that have become stuck or painful.

And to feel empowered to start taking action.

You can then begin living your life with a greater sense of happiness, health and well-being.

So, if you think that Counselling with Neil Ward Counselling Services could help you, please get in touch.

I am extremely passionate about, and committed, to what I do. And I find it deeply satisfying helping people like you to grow and develop.

I realise that coming to Counselling for the first time can seem like a scary prospect and you may feel anxious about it. Therefore, I want to reassure you that in our first session, I will do what I can to put you at ease so that you can talk about whatever you wish, in as much or as little detail as you want, while going at your own pace.

To book an initial session or to set up a FREE 15 minute telephone consultation call me on 07970 860 711 or email me.

Daytime and evening appointments are available.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards
