Oak Leaf Counselling

Oak Leaf Counselling www.oakleafcounselling.co.uk 01493 444000 There are times in everyone's life when problems and issues arise that are difficult to cope with.

For many different reasons you may not be able to share your feelings, hopes and fears with anyone else, especially those closest to you. This can be a very lonely, stressful and isolating experience from which there sometimes seems no escape. Counselling offers you a place and time aside from everyday life to explore aspects of your life which you are finding troubling or challenging. It is the opportunity to talk with a trained professional in confidence about any issues that cause you concern. These may include for example: how you feel about yourself, your relationships with partners, families and friends, managing stress and anxiety, adjusting to a new situation, distressing experiences in your past, and many other issues. Based in Gorleston near Great Yarmouth, Oak Leaf Counselling can help by offering you a safe and confidential place to talk, face to face, with someone you can trust. A chance to be listened to without being judged. A place where you can feel free to express your true feelings, know that you will be accepted, and that your perspective will be understood, maybe for the first time. If you are not local, perhaps telephone counselling will be the way forward for you.

Sometimes listening is the most important thing you can do for someone who is struggling. You don't need to offer advice or fix things, just be there for them and really listen.

💚 Show you care.

Give them your full attention and put away your phone.

💚 Have patience.

It can take some people time to express what they're feeling. Be patient and remember you don't have to always fill a silence.

💚 Use open questions.

Ask questions that need more than a yes or no answer. Like "what's been happening lately?" and "can you tell me more?".

💚 Say it back.

Check you've understood what they're saying, and resist putting your own interpretation on it or offering a solution.

💚 Have courage.

It can take a few tries before somebody is ready to open up. Don't be put off by a negative response. Let them know you're there if they ever want to talk.

Therapy isn’t just having a chat; it’s life-enhancing, life-changing and sometimes even even life-saving.
