Counselling
Overwhelm, stress and finding a way through
Jamie Blackall on counselling when life is too loud — loss, relationships, anxiety and the question of who you are underneath it.
Overwhelm is information
It often means too much has been carried for too long without a place to put it. Counselling is not a lecture on resilience. It is a structured relationship in which you can find out what you feel without performing.
Root and surface
We can work with the immediate stress and also with the older story that makes this week land so hard. You set the pace.
A free introductory call
No obligation. If I am not the right counsellor, better we learn that in fifteen minutes than in six weeks. Phone 07538 874344.
