Counselling is a process which aims to provide people with the opportunity to be able to cope more effectively with their problems and life events.

Counselling provides a confidential, trusting, therapeutic relationship and a safe space where people can feel really supported and enabled to talk freely about themselves, where they are now and where they would prefer to be in a positive way.

When life feels difficult or we are faced with continual stress or a crisis comes along, we can not only feel unhappy but we can neglect our emotional well-being which can leave us feeling overwhelmed, unable to cope or find our way forward.

It is when our lives feel the most stressfull that we usually neglect our own emotional needs and wellbeing.

You may be feeling embarrassed about some of your thoughts and feelings or because you don't seem to be coping very well by yourself and it can feel like a big step to seek help you need in order to start to feel better.

But talking therapy really helps!

By talking to me, Tina Deas, an experienced BACP accredited counsellor/psychotherapist and life coach at A Time For You Reiki & Counselling, Swindon during times of difficulty, you will feel really listened to, accepted and understood. This will help you to feel supported, make sense of your thoughts, feelings and your situation and empower you to take control and make the decisions and changes you would like, to improve your life and wellbeing.

The benefits of counselling are:-

> Confidential professional expertise
> A postitive, trusting, safe relationship.
> Feel accepted and understood.
> Enables you to talk about your difficulties.
> Deepens your self understanding.
> Enables you to clairfy what is wrong.
> Releases old traumas, so you can move on.
> Empowers you to make the changes you want to.
> Improves your wellbeing and your life.

Whilst people come for counselling for many different reasons they often want to be able to feel better, cope better and to improve their lives.

Some events such as having a baby or the loss of our health can be life changing and sometimes extra support is needed in order to cope with them.

As an experienced BACP accrdited counsellor/psycotherapist and life coach I help both individuals and couples at A Time For Reiki & Counselling, Swindon with many different issues and concerns. I can help you with symptoms of stress, anxiety, panic attacks, anger, low mood, low self esteem and lack of confidence or if you are trying to cope with the bereavement of a beloved person or pet, have suffered any other kind of loss such as the breakdown of a relationship, financial loss or you would like some help to cope with whatever is going on in you life.

If you have had difficult or traumatic experiences to cope with during your life, you may feel that with support, you are ready to look at them, lay them to rest and move on. Equally, you may feel a little lost and just need some help to get yourself back on track or perhaps you don't really know where to start and feel anxious about talking to someone about your problems.

By coming to see me at A Time For You, Reiki and Counselling, Swindon you will be able to get the help that you need to feel better.
