Who is counselling for?
Anyone who needs help sorting out their thoughts and feelings. We all have problems and sometimes we get stuck in them and the normal things we do to get unstuck do not seem to be working. You might feel sad, anxious, angry of even nothing at all. Sometimes we get trapped thinking about the same things over and over again. In the past few years lots has been done to reduce the stigma and shame around mental health. If you are experiencing difficulties you are not alone. There has been a steady increase in reported rates of depression and anxiety. Asking for help does not mean you are weak. We are not all experts on everything in our lives and sometimes life is just that difficult.
What does it look like?
With Cairis Counselling our first aim to make a safe space where you can be you without fear of judgment or criticism. One of the biggest rules in counselling is client confidentiality. What you say in the room is held in the highest confidence. There are legal limits to confidentiality. Unless there is imminent risk to a person or a court orders a counsellors notes what you share stays in the room you shared it.
We talk about what you are currently experiencing. With precision and care we go through your story to understand you and your situation. Then we explore solutions to get you unstuck.
How much does it cost?
