Life throws us many challenges and sometimes we are able to work our way through them, adjusting accordingly. Yet sometimes, there are moments which can leave us fighting for breath. We might experience feelings of intense worry, low mood, a sense of foreboding, or feelings of shame or guilt which we cannot shift. Perhaps we might experience stress at work or a conflict in a relationship which impacts us deeply. Significant life changes such as the death of a loved one, divorce or dealing with a long-term illness can all leave us feeling deeply off balance. It is these moments in life where counselling can help us to make sense of our experience and reconnect with ourselves in a way that helps us to take gentle steps forward.
Recognising the need to reach out for support can take an immense amount of courage. Choosing the counsellor that you want to work with can feel like a difficult path to navigate too.
My belief is that you are the expert in your life. My role is to create an environment that helps you to feel safe and comfortable to explore your feelings and experiences. Together we can gain a deeper understanding, perhaps allowing you to see things through a different lens, enabling you to move towards being the best version of you.
At Moment to Breathe Counselling I offer a safe, comfortable, and warm environment where together we will go at the pace that is right for you. My way of working will be individual to you and your needs, as each one of us is unique and different. It is my belief that we all have the capacity to grow and change, but sometimes this needs to be nurtured. Giving yourself the time and space that you deserve is an important part of healing, we all need a moment to breathe.
