It's quite normal to feel unsure at this stage and wonder whether counselling, CBT, psychotherapy or personal coaching is for you and whether it will help.
Many of my past clients felt exactly the same at this stage and they would like to say the following to you:
| "Ann is very friendly and easy to talk to. I always felt comfortable and welcomed." P. (male) |
"Try it. I was unsure, but it has changed my life beyond all expectations." M. (female) |
| "It really helps to know you're not alone and that there are ways to help you understand and cope with whatever issues you face. There are practical tools to help you heal and move forward with your life, so it's worth giving it a go." J. (female) |
"If you have reached a point in your life where you just don't know what to do next, talking to a counsellor who has lots of experience and training will make such a difference to your quality of life." T. (female) |
| "This process was beneficial and rewarding. I suffered a considerable amount of trauma prior to the initial session, however these fears were unfounded as the therapy focussed on my outcomes, remaining within agreed boundaries." J. (female) |
"Try it, it can always help talking about problems rather than dealing with them alone." P. (male) |
| "Changing the way you think about things enables you to cope with real issues. It's not about changing others' thoughts and behaviours. I'ts liberating to come out the other side!" M. (female) |
"Just do it." C. (female) |
| "Give it a go - you have nothing to lose." T. (male) |
