What is Emotional Therapeutic Counselling?
The Foundation for Emotional Therapeutic Counselling holds the belief that emotional wellbeing is the key to a contented, fulfilling life.
Emotional Therapeutic Counselling seeks to help people who are suffering emotional turmoil in their lives, whether brought about by a crisis, a long term situation, persistent unhappiness, depression, apathy or difficulties in relating to others.
A key aspect of Emotional Therapeutic Counselling is the range of techniques used to help you both recognise and release painful feelings in an safe, appropriate manner, by working with the emotions rather than the mind. We can use many different tools from just chatting to creative journalling, mind mapping, guided meditations - many different tools to suit whatever feels comfortable and safe to you.
Therapy goes at your pace and the number of sessions will vary according to your needs.

The Benefits of Counselling
Counselling is a type of talking therapy that allows a person to talk about their feelings, needs and problems in a safe, structured, confidential setting. The foundation of effective counselling is providing clients with a professional therapeutic relationship based on non-judgmental respect and offering empathic understanding. Counsellors may employ a number of additional ways of working to further support their clients’ healing and development.
Counselling can help with all sorts of different issues. It can help with positive events such as choosing a direction in life or reaching your full potential. Perhaps you are feeling a ‘bit stuck’ and would value the viewpoint of a counsellor. There may be things from your past that you would like to tackle or there may be things in the present that you want to try and change. Perhaps you are experiencing significant events in your life such as getting married and starting a family, leaving home for the first time or coming to terms with the death of a loved one.
The range of issues that Counselling can help with is vast - everything from anxiety, age-related issues, self-esteem, bereavement, loss, divorce and separation, family or relationship issues, feeling generally unhappy with your life, trauma - talking to a trained counsellor can help you to explore your feelings and help you to heal ‘on the inside’ as well as the outside. The National Counselling Society has a helpful, comprehensive list of the types of things that counselling can help with if you're feeling unsure.
