Jude Songhurst Counselling

A confidential, non-judgemental and safe space to talk

Counselling and you

We draw on life experiences to work through our every days, and we take life experiences into our future. But sometimes, in the here and now things don't feel right and those past experiences don't seem so helpful. And we ask ourselves why; why do I feel sad or upset? Why do I feel the way the way I do when I am with a particular person or in a certain situation? Why am I the way I am? In difficult times, these might seem like unanswerable questions.Counselling provides an empathic, ethical and non-judgemental space to begin exploring where the answers might lie.

In our sessions, we think together about those past experiences, bringing unconscious thoughts and feelings about them to consciousness through memories and dreams and also in the relationship between us. In this way, looking at the past can enable us to start piecing things together, to join some of the dots and to start to make sense of ourselves.
