Counselling and psychotherapy offer a safe place in which to explore difficulties you may be currently experiencing. Your counsellor is trained to listen and be alongside you, and will neither judge nor advise you.
There may be feelings you are unable to share with family or friends, but which you can discuss in a completely confidential atmosphere with someone who is not involved in your daily life. This process can help you feel less confused, gain a sense of direction, make changes in your life, or come to terms with things that cannot be changed.
Dr Rosie offers this kind of service for general relationship and family problems, difficulties at work, sexual anxieties, and problems of stress and tension. She has specialist training and experience in helping people with:
- eating disorders and problems of weight control
- bereavement.
- traumatic experiences such as road traffic accidents
Sessions last for 50 minutes, and are generally carried out weekly for six weeks. During the fourth session there will be discussion about whether to end at the sixth session, or whether you feel you need to continue a bit longer.
