In a world that often emphasises physical health, the importance of mental well-being is sometimes overlooked. Breaking the stigma surrounding therapy is crucial for fostering a society that prioritises mental health just as much as physical health. Historically, seeking therapy has been surrounded by misconceptions and stereotypes. Some view it as a sign of weakness or associate it with severe mental illnesses. This stigma prevents many individuals from seeking the help they need, contributing to a silent struggle with mental health issues.

As a counsellor, I often find myself guiding individuals through the intricate terrain of their emotions, particularly anxiety. It's crucial to recognise that anxiety is a normal part of the human experience, serving as a built-in mechanism that alerts us to potential threats and helps us navigate life's challenges, it can help us move out of our comfort zones and complacency.

As a person-centred counsellor with over 20 years of experience, I have seen first-hand the transformative power of person-centred therapy. It is a humanistic approach to therapy that empowers individuals to find their own solutions, heal from past traumas and grow towards self-actualisation.
