Why counselling?
Counselling offers an opportunity for reflection — a chance to make sense of what’s going on in your life, with someone alongside you. It’s not about being given advice or fixed solutions, but about having the time and support to explore things at your own pace. At its heart, counselling is a creative partnership — a conversation between you and Ed, where your thoughts, feelings and experiences can be heard and worked with together.
People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons. It may be that you are wanting to:
- adjust to difficult and unexpected changes
- explore challenging relationships, past or present
- move on from repetitive thoughts or behaviours
- connect with your feelings or manage those feel overwhelming
- understand and lessen anxiety, depression or loneliness
- develop the awareness and confidence to be yourself and to live more fully
The sessions are yours to bring whatever you wish.
Everyone is welcome.
Why coaching?
Central to the life coaching sessions is a collaborative relationship between you and Sally. Together, you’ll look at what’s important to you, explore what might be getting in the way and find practical ways to move forward. Coaching is about increasing self-awareness, setting meaningful goals, navigating challenges and unlocking your potential.
While coaching shares some similarities with counselling, the focus is less on the past and more on the changes you can make now to support personal growth, confidence and a greater sense of fulfilment in your life.
Clients who engage in coaching have various aims and goals. Below are just some examples:
- Create a better balance between work and personal life
- Embrace new opportunities
- Adopt a healthier lifestyle
- Thrive with ADHD and autism and have a greater understanding
- Manage the work environment
- Improve communication skills and develop relationships
- Minimise distractions and improve focus
- Reframe negative thoughts and focus on solutions rather than problems
