Counselling

Sonya Lawler Counselling and PsychotherapyCounselling is most helpful for those who are experiencing short term difficulty about a specific issue or crisis.

Most of the time we are able to resolve our difficulties with the support and care of our friends and family if we are lucky enough to be surrounded by a supportive network of people. There are times, however, when we are overwhelmed by the magnitude of emotions and complications that surround a particular event or problem.

Counselling can help by providing a safe and confidential environment where issues can be discussed without judgment and feelings can be expressed and received with respect and understanding. By working together, feelings can be processed, options can be explored and goals reached through careful planning and supported action.

It may be difficult to talk to those close to us because:

  • They don't respond in the way that we need.
  • They are frustrated that we don't follow their advice.
  • They tell us to 'get over it'.
  • We feel ashamed.
  • We fear disappointing people important to us.
  • We expect to be judged harshly.
  • We feel embarrassed.
  • We don’t think they will understand.
