What kinds of talking face to face therapies are there?
  • There are many different types of talking therapies, and some have different names.

Try not to let the jargon put you off! Because behind the technical term is a way of working with you that is designed to be of help you to understand yourself better.
Your counsellor will find the best way to work alongside you in your personal journey.
 
  • Some therapists have a personal style of working that helps each individual; they may decide to combine a few approaches to help you in the best way possible, this can include a creative way of working e.g. your therapist may use relaxation techniques, visualisation techniques, life balancing techniques.
  • Different types of therapy work well for different people, its about finding the right counsellor and apporach that works well for you.
  • And remember there are no quick fixes, your therapy could be both short or long term.
  • It can take time and commitment from you and your counsellor.
  • You will be investing in your own personal development and growth.
  • At exploring U counselling, we offer both short or long term counselling.
Life can sometimes become difficult, pressures from your job or a relationship may be causing you to feel anxious or emotional, you may have debts or gambling addictions, these or others may be interfering with your health and well-being. You may have thought about talking to a counsellor, but for some reason felt unable to make that first call, please call (01787 829141) and speak to Glenda in confidence.  (07841  979450) if we do not answer you initial call, please leave a message, I will get back to you within a few hours.
 
Stigma
There is a stigma attached to Mental Health issues which often means that people can feel very uncomfortable talking about them, it's perfectly o.k to feel uncomfortable, you will have the opportunity to explore these feelings with your counsellor, we will do our best to help you through any issue you are facing.
Your fears maybe around asking for help from a counsellor, and perhaps not being able to sort your own problems out for yourself.
  • Many people engage in talking therapies, often people don't tell their family, friends or even work colleagues that they are seeing a therapist/counsellor and that's ok.
Please understand that there is no shame or guilt in seeking help ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )

  • We have a specialised team of both Male and female experienced counsellors'
Our work is regularly supervised on a montlhy basis with a professional (MBACP) supervisor, you are never identified personally, but if your counsellor feels you are at risk of harming yourself or any other person, the disclosure form you complete at the time of your assessment, gives your counsellor permission to disclose this to a third party.
Please remember that, asking for help is not seen as a weakness, it's part of you taking charge of your well-being and doing what you feel is right for you.
