About Us
Have you ever had these thoughts about therapy?
- Therapy doesn’t work.
- Therapy is not for me it’s for people with serious mental health issues.
- Talking to someone about my problems won’t help me.
- I can fix the problem myself.
- Once I start going to therapy, I’ll have to go forever.
Many people have had these same thoughts, but they’re not true! And worse, these misconceptions prevent people from enjoying the positive, life-changing benefits that therapy brings.
At Access Counselling and
Wellbeing our goal is to create a comfortable and safe environment where we’ll
work together to achieve the goals we set. We believe in building relationships
with our clients based on respect, compatibility and a genuine need to
help.
The truth about therapy is that it really works. Scientific studies consistently show that behavioural and emotional interventions work as well, if not better, than medication to treat anxiety, depression, and mental health issues. Therapy that teaches you skills, will leave you with long-term, healthy coping strategies that you can use when issues pop up.
Counselling is a guilt free environment – how often have you not wanted to burden others or not wanted to be judged and made to feel guilty about your feelings? Counselling simply requires you to turn up with an open mind and actually put yourself first for once, it gives you the opportunity to be heard like you may not be used to, taken seriously, understood, not judged and simply cared for – where else do you get the chance to be focused on so intently! Life can be difficult, we may put ourselves in those difficult situations or they may have been handed to us by others, either way, sometimes we just need to talk and that’s really what Counselling is, you have the freedom and choice to discuss what you want on your terms.
