Why come for counselling?"It is vital to help you navigate a new psychological path out of distress, or relative unhappiness." There is an abundance of material out there on all the psychological symptoms you may have when life is proving to be more stressful than it should be. It is helpful to know how you feel about your current situation – for example, whether you are anxious, depressed, grieving or experiencing relationship difficulties.
But it is even more vital to help you navigate a new psychological path out of the distress, or relative unhappiness. The past naturally has an influence on who we have become, as well as the direction our lives have taken. Aspire to Grow has a refreshing approach to looking at life's challenges, and the situations we find ourselves in. Our counsellors acknowledge the influence of the past, and unique personal histories, but pay special attention to how we can construct stronger psychological selves for the future. Counselling is a transformative process. It is likely that many fundamental aspects of who you are will be changed by counselling. Obstacles to who you'd really like to become are frequently overcome as you grow and become more self-aware. |

As experienced counsellors, we have the skills and qualifications for much longer-term work too, if you want to go further.
