Adult Counselling
Adult counselling sessions are conducted one to one and in the strictest of confidence.
During our first meeting we will discuss what you would like to focus on and generate a contract that states what you would like to achieve from a series of sessions.
Despite the outward positive impressions people portray, many find it difficult to cope with the demands and pressures of daily life at some point in their life.
These pressures may be the result of current issues or past events, however it is possible to either resolve them or develop effective coping strategies.
Sometimes issues can be resolved by talking to a close friend or family member but sometimes it's more effective to talk to someone who is impartial and who can be objective. This is where a trained counsellor, who has experience in this field comes in.
The time we spend together is your time and we will work towards a plan that helps you obtain the improvements you seek in life.
Counselling can help with:
- Anxiety and depression
- Anger and guilt
- Relationships and trauma
- Self confidence and dependency
- Bereavement and terminal illness
Client feedback
"Paula helped me when I was at my lowest point in years with my relationship with my mother. She really listened and helped me believe that my feelings were perfectly reasonable. Paula is always there for me including between sessions. Great support with such an easy empathetic approach"

"As a 33-year-old man, I was a bit apprehensive about seeing a counsellor and talking. But Paula made me feel comfortable and at ease. She has supported me through a tough time and I felt she was always there for me."
Daniel Poundbury.
"I had tried counselling before and thought it wasn’t for me. I now realise that finding the right counsellor makes all the difference. I went to see Paula when I felt I was no longer able to cope and everything in my life was going wrong…. I cannot recommend Paula enough. I feel in control, grounded and confident… capable of moving forward in my life. My sessions with her have not only helped me gain understanding of my habits and patterns but also given me the tools to break the bad habits and understand what is important. As a result I feel in control, grounded and confident in all parts of my life and most importantly, I feel capable of moving forward in my life."
