Welcome
Welcome and thank you for visiting South East Counselling Services.
South East Counselling Services was established in 2000 and aims to provide an environment where you are respected and valued as a unique individual and where we can work together towards promoting positive health and renewal.
A Chance to Talk
At various times in our lives, people may be challenged by changing circumstances such as redundancy, divorce, illness, family issues, parenting issues, adolescent issues and major life transitions. At these difficult distressing times, when one finds it difficult to cope; counselling can offer support in a confidential, secure, and non-judgmental environment. Counselling can help you talk through your problems and help to release painful feelings, perhaps of anger, hopelessness and sadness. Counselling can allow current problematic life situations to be explored, considered, and re-evaluated so that you can regain control and get more enjoyment out of life.
Who avails of counselling?
Prejudice about emotional distress can sometimes prevent people from availing of taking treatments which would be of benefit to them. Many feel it is a sign of inadequacy to get help in this way.
However, the truth is very different. It is natural and healthy to seek help when we can’t sort things out on our own.
It takes courage to face up to emotional difficulties and find better ways of coping.
Counselling can help you think more flexibly, lead to you becoming emotionally stronger, so that you can better handle situations as they arise.
We enter into a counselling relationship when we engage the help of a counsellor/psychologist in mutual agreement
Counselling can help people to resolve problems-help people live their lives in a more insightful, fulfilling way:
Clarify what\'s important in their lives
To get in touch with their inner resources and strengths in the exploration of feelings, thoughts and meanings particular to them
By offering support during developmental and transitional periods
To work through \'stuck\' isssues - that might involve childhood experiences
To reach a resolution of problems
