Thinking about having counselling?

Hello, my name is Abby and I provide counselling in Cheltenham for adults  on an open-ended one-to-one basis.

Counselling is a type of talking therapy.  At a very basic level this means that you regularly meet with a trained professional to talk through things that are bothering you.  The process of talking about yourself with a person who is trained to listen and understand can be a very healing experience.  It can enable you to move forwards to a place of acceptance and find new ways to manage your situation.  It can help you to understand yourself better.

Anyone can benefit from counselling, but it really helps if you have a good relationship with your therapist.  Being able to trust them and to feel that they understand you is incredibly important.  That is why I always see clients for an initial session before we commit to a regular pattern.  I do my best to make you feel really comfortable with me, because I know that is how to ensure you get the most out of the experience.
