How do you find the right counsellor?
Finding the right therapist may feel somewhat daunting and confusing. How do you make a choice? It is important that you feel your therapist can relate to you and your struggles. The information on this site will help you to make that decision.
To help you begin we have prepared information on Finding a therapist. and Fears about starting therapy.
Why do I get so overwhelmed?
Listen to a 12 mins video that explains how we get overwhelmed, what do we mean by this, and the kinds of things we focus on in therapy as a result. View Video Here.

Finding a "fit" in the counselling field is much more important than finding a "fit" in a pair of trousers. Delyse proved to be that perfect fit for me. She supported me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. Her calm and gentle style provided me safe and warm haven, where I was able with her guidance to begin addressing my demons. With continued support I've felt able to walk forward, armed with self-awareness, knowledge and tools that have had a positive impact on every relationship in my life. Thank you, Delyse from the bottom of my heart! CF
