Counselling sessions provide individuals with the tools and resources to better understand themselves, their thoughts and emotions, and recognise any underlying factors contributing to their current difficulties. Through self-exploration, individuals can gain insight into their patterns of behaviour, reactions, and beliefs, and work towards making positive changes in their lives.

Here at The Female Health Clinic, we are constantly enhancing our service provision to meet the needs of our patients. Without doubt, our mental and physical health are equally important components of our overall health. With this in mind, we are pleased to now offer counselling therapy sessions.

How does counselling help?

Counselling can help individuals to manage and cope with stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.

Stressful life events such as job loss, relationship problems, financial difficulties, bereavement and other major life changes can impact an individual’s mental and emotional well-being. By developing healthy coping strategies and providing individuals with the tools and resources they need, counselling can help individuals better manage their stress levels and improve their overall mental health.

Furthermore, counselling can help individuals to improve their relationships with others. Relationship issues, whether with a partner, family member or friend, can be a significant source of stress and conflict in an individual’s life. Counselling can help individuals to communicate more effectively, set boundaries, and work through conflict healthily and constructively. By improving their relationships, individuals can enhance their social support network and improve their overall well-being.

Counselling can also help individuals to make important decisions in their lives. Whether it be deciding on a career path, ending a relationship, or making a major life change, it can provide individuals with the support and guidance to make informed decisions that are in line with their values and goals. By exploring their options, weighing the pros and cons, and considering values and priorities, individuals can make decisions in line with their authentic selves, which can lead to greater satisfaction and fulfillment.

In addition to the mental and emotional benefits, seeing a counsellor can have a positive effect on an individual’s physical health. Chronic stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues can have a detrimental impact on an individual’s physical health, leading to symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, and digestive issues. By addressing and managing mental health concerns, individuals can reduce the risk of developing physical health problems.
