Counselling in Belfast

Even though change can sometimes seem frightening, without change we can never grow or develop as human beings in our relationships lives. Sometimes there are strong beliefs, experiences or fears which hold us back from change. We may know something isn’t right, or doesn’t work for us but the thought of change can seem overwhelming. We know something has to change but are afraid of what change looks like or feels like.

Counselling isn’t about seeing someone who’ll make you feel better about yourself or tell you it’s wrong to feel bad. Nor is it being advised what to do in order to have a better life. Counselling is about understanding yourself, your experiences, your thoughts and feelings and exploring what change is and what it means.

The process of counselling may at times be a painful process. Hurtful thoughts and feelings that may have been hidden for some time can surface as you explore what lies behind your current difficulties. This can be the beginning of the healing process as once they are explored they usually lose their power to hurt and hinder. This new understanding can help lead to an empowerment that can let you live the life you want as you make healthier more appropriate lifestyle choices as self defeating attitudes and behaviours are left behind.
