Counselling In Bromley
Hello, my name is Susan Smith and I work as a counsellor in Bromley. Please feel free to telephone or email for more information without obligation.
Counselling takes place in a neutral, private and confidential setting to explore any difficulties or distress you may be experiencing. In counselling we look at any dissatisfaction you have with life, or where there is a loss of direction and purpose.. Counselling is a way of growing and developing and counselling allows us to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and others.
The following are some of the issues clients have presented with for counselling :-
Anger, Anxiety and Panic Attacks, Assertiveness Bereavement, Concentration, Depression, Eating Problems Family Problems, Insomnia, Loneliness, Low Moods, Personal Worries Self Confidence, Self Injury, Sex, Sexual Assault, Rape, Sexuality, Stress, Suicidal Thoughts and Feelings.
Counselling aims to reduce confusion and inner conflict thus helping the client to see things more clearly. In counselling clients often emerge with a different perspective which can be empowering and results in more self-confidence. The counselling process often enables clients to make positive changes and choices without giving advice or directing a client to take a particular course of action. As a counselor I do not judge.
Counselling allows us to explore various aspects of life and feelings, talking openly and honestly in a way that is often not possible with family or even close friends. Unexpressed feelings such as fear, anger, guilt and shame can become intense leading to greater problems and counselling provides the opportunity to examine them more closely.
Cousellors are trained to understand, accept and reflect the clients difficulties without taking them on board or being personally troubled by them. As a counsellor I have regular supervision and ongoing personal development training to enable me to give the best support to clients. Essential tools for a counsellor are respect and acceptance for the client which enables trust to develop.
