Amanda Warren Counselling

A personal crisis such as a marriage or relationship breakdown can often lead to the need for support and understanding, with someone that is non-judgemental and not emotionally connected. This can often bring an awareness of how you relate to others.

Sometimes when someone dies it can feel isolating, even with friends and family around. How many times have we heard "I can't cry as I might upset other people". The benefits of counselling have assisted many people to talk through their feelings and come to terms with their bereavement.

This can be a difficult one - sexuality can be interpreted in so many ways for different people. It may be helpful to explore what it means to you.

Exploring what drug and alcohol dependency means to you can enable you to become aware of your feelings and how these relate to the use of drugs and alcohol.

Feeling "depressed", anxious and confused can lead to feelings of being unable to cope, exploring these feelings can help.

These can often leave you feeling lonely, isolated and with a sense of helplessness. Taking a look at the anger and frustration can alleviate such feelings.

Stress can be a sympton of things around you, such as problems with family or anxieties about children. Through counselling you can begin to question how you respond to such circumstances.

Talking about how you are feeling can be really difficult, especially with an area such as sexual, physical and emotional abuse. A confidential counselling relationship can help in providing a safe and secure environment to explore such delicate feelings.

Often a major crisis such as redundancy or even retirement can affect confidence and self esteem.
