Clare Slaney Counselling

Working in a safe, confidential space, we'll explore your dilemmas and distress at a pace that suits you. The counselling and psychotherapy relationship is one of the very few places left without goals and outcomes, which gives you the opportunity to really explore and move towards genuine healing. Being told how to think and live sounds oppressive but most of us are very comfortable with it until we find that someone else's idea of a good life doesn't fit us. The counselling relationship is unlike any other you will have experienced but clients consistently tell me that they quickly become comfortable with it. Once we begin to explore your problem without judgement or well-meaning advice you'll quickly feel more able to make decisions which will help you live in a healthy, intelligent manner. Sounds straightforward - and it is - but that sincere trust in oneself takes time to build. How long? 6 weeks is a good average. Many people stay for longer.
