What is counselling, and how can it help?


Sometimes it can be difficult to talk openly with the people closest to us. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious or simply unsure why you're feeling the way you do.

Counselling gives you a confidential space to talk about what's happening in your life with someone who will listen without judgement. 

Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, experiences and relationships, helping you to understand yourself and your situation more clearly.

Counselling is not about someone telling you what to do or trying to "fix" you. My role is to support you as you explore things in your own way and at your own pace, so that you can make decisions that feel right for you.

Whether you are dealing with something specific or simply feel overwhelmed or stuck, counselling can provide a safe place to begin making sense of things.

A safe space to talk, explore and move forward

Starting counselling can feel like a big step, particularly if you're unsure what to expect.

Here is what some clients have said about their experience of working with me:

"I began to feel relaxed, listened to and valued."

"Most of all, I have a great relationship with myself."

"I never once felt that I couldn’t say what was on my mind."

"Ray gave me the space for me to look at myself and to make change."

Testimonials

"Before I started counselling it felt like my brain had stopped working until a colleague suggested some counselling and that was the beginning of my journey which led me to sitting in a room with Ray and the start of my healing.
I did not know where to start and wondered if I'd ever find a finishing point. At first, I talked and talked and talked which included very emotional moments. I jumped from one scenario to another and eventually Ray helped me with his expertise to pinpoint my early childhood trauma that I had experienced and understand some of my behaviours. I began to feel relaxed, listened to and valued. My anxiety began to become manageable. Ray supported me to making positive decisions and helped me to be responsible with choices. His empathetic approach was valuable to my moving forward. I could feel his non-judgemental approach which was so important to me."  

Sandra

Client

"I have worked with Ray in a professional capacity for approximately eight years. Initially, when I would refer clients for treatment to the alcohol service where he worked and latterly as colleagues for 3 years in the same organisation.
In his role as a Group Facilitator, Ray brought a variety of specialised topics demonstrating a wide breath of knowledge of theories and different modalities. He was adept at holding the therapeutic frame, allowing clients to explore their unhealthy patterns, whilst at the same time adapting to each individuals’ need. Ray is highly skilled working with addiction, loss, bereavement and trauma.
Counsellors are often described as ‘being non judgemental’ – Ray is one of the rare people whom embodies this quality intuitively. In all that he does, he is his natural authentic self, is down to earth and approachable."

“I was feeling terrible about myself, so I started seeing Ray. I had divorced from my wife and was feeling guilty about not being there for my kids. I spent a lot of time early on complaining about my ex-wife and feeling sorry for myself. Ray allowed me the space to come to terms with the loss of my marriage and the loss of the relationship I had with my kids. I started to explore my own feelings and behaviour and started to come to terms with everything that had happened. Eventually I saw how my behaviours had contributed to the breakup, and the breakup of all my previous relationships. It was a really tough process, but Ray gave me the space for me to look at myself and to make change. Today I have a good relationship with my kid’s mum and with my kids. Most of all, I have a great relationship with myself. I recommend everyone to try counselling.”

Client

“Counselling with Ray was a safe, supportive experience for me. He is very empathic, and I never once felt that I couldn’t say what was on my mind. Counselling is my oasis in the middle of the hectic life I lead. Whatever happens in my week, I know I can talk to Ray about it and recharge myself.”
