Benefits of Counselling
​
I believe that all young people deserve a safe, confidential space in which they can be supported. Emotional health provides the foundation for long-term wellbeing. Given the complexity and challenges of our society, it is vital that we support the mental wellbeing of our children and young people.
​
Counselling is bespoke and unique to each individual. Some of the benefits may include:
-
Feeling heard and less alone
-
Creating coherent narratives about difficult experiences
-
Helping feelings become more manageable
-
Building self-esteem
-
Promoting regulation of the nervous system
-
Improving emotional communication
-
Developing emotional resilience
