We can find ourselves feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, or unsure of what we need. Sometimes we know that something needs to change, without knowing where to begin. Holistic Counselling provides a space to slow down, explore what is happening beneath the surface, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-1084294073 {\n  color: rgb(0,0,0);\n}\n#text-1084294073 > * {\n  color: rgb(0,0,0);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"text-495443025\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<p>A holistic approach recognises that we are not made up of separate parts. Our thoughts, emotions, body, nervous system, relationships, environment, experiences and sense of self are all connected and can influence the way we feel and move through life. Counselling isn\u2019t about telling you who you should be or expecting you to work everything out on your own. It is about working alongside you to explore what is happening, make sense of your experiences, and develop greater understanding, awareness and practical ways of moving forward.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-495443025 {\n  color: rgb(0,0,0);\n}\n#text-495443025 > * {\n  color: rgb(0,0,0);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"text-2125697552\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<blockquote  style=\"font-style:normal; font-size:16.5px\"><p>\nSessions are guided by your individual needs, pace, interests and capacity.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-2125697552 {\n  color: rgb(0,0,0);\n}\n#text-2125697552 > * {\n  color: rgb(0,0,0);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"text-2810714484\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<p>There is no expectation to have everything figured out before you come.

Sometimes the most valuable part of a session is having somewhere to slow down and be heard. The way we work can change from session to session, depending on what you bring and what feels right for you at the time.

Our emotional wellbeing doesn&#8217;t exist separately from our body, our relationships, our environment, our experiences or the way we live each day. Sometimes, understanding one part of ourselves can help us understand another.
