Making the decision to find a counsellor can be a difficult task, whether it is your first time or you are returning back to counselling. It can be a huge step in itself, as you may be experiencing a number of feelings, such as: what if I look silly, what if my problems seem unimportant or what if I don't know where to start? This is normal; honestly do not let this stop you. Please don't hesitate to call me and ask any questions, and then decide if you would like to come along to a free consultation?

Therapists use different approaches and interventions to suit the requirements of the client. The goal within the therapeutic relationship is help the client work towards making more positive choices.

I will guide you in developing  awareness and ability to understand yourself  more fully so that you will finish  counselling with a stronger overall structure to your life.

Welcome to SAFE Counselling Services.Choosing to come to counselling takes courage and well done for taking the first step to seek support.Counselling gives you the opportunity to find your voice and be heard, the unspeakable to find words, and feeling that have been buried may be expressed without judgement.
