Anne Kelly Counselling

I work with the client to discover their inner strengths and solutions using on the most part, a person centred approach but I also use an eclectic mix of other theories depending on the clients personal needs.  Clients are often unaware that they have the strength and knowledge within themselves to find solutions to the issues they are experiencing.  With a little gentle exploration, coupled with the support counselling/psychotherapy offers they unlock their own answers and this in turn empowers them to take control of their lives. 

Changes don't always come easy and to make changes can be pretty difficult but when clients feel supported it enables them to look at themselves in a different way and to make the necessary changes.  Some clients even say "I've never said that out loud" or "it feels good to say that out in the open", and they know that from this point forward they can work towards making changes and feeling better in themselves.  

Counselling brings about awareness and when you become aware of what it is that is causing you concern or anxiety, stress or discomfort you can take steps to alter, adapt or change it in order to lead a more contented life.  The ripple effect of change begins in the counselling room but eventually it filters into everyday life.
