Counselling and Psychotherapy is the practice of using a purposeful and private conversation with a trained professional to ease psychological distress. Research shows it is the quality of the relationship between yourself and the counsellor which brings about positive psychological change. With a person ‘You’ trust, feel safe confident and connected to, you can explore experiences that are troubling you, compassionately look at what has happened to you, understand its impact on you, and discover the meaning you have made of it.

 

Within the caring, dependable relationship we create together, you are supported to make sense and reorganise your experience into useful accounts. Improve the way you feel about yourself and others. Action change in the way you want to make it and take responsibility for your own more positive future and wellness.

 

Restoration and recovery does not have to be unbearable. At Affinity Counselling, it is my aim to make your experience of therapy not only manageable and useful but nourishing, inspiring and hopeful. Client feedback expresses enjoyable positive sessions, time given over to supporting oneself with genuine compassion and care, making counselling a look-forward to part of the week.
