Brenda Finlayson Counsellor

Brenda Finlayson is an intuitive counsellor who offers a safe place for personal exploration on the way to a more fulfilling life.

Stress can create a build-up of worry and fear that temporarily affects the brain, often resulting in negative emotions and patterns of behaviour that have helped us through tough times but do not serve us in the longer term. Lasting change comes when we can leave behind these outmoded ways to live more authentically, in tune with our true selves. Exploring your psychological, behavioural and physiological patterns helps to form new neural pathways that reconnect with your innate strength, knowledge of self and sense of purpose. Through a trusting therapeutic partnership, you can harness your values, ambitions, motivation and hopes to construct a strong scaffold for managing the ups and downs of daily life.
