Is therapy for me?
People start therapy for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes there’s a clear issue, and other times it’s just a sense that something isn’t quite right. Here are some of the things we often hear:
- I feel stuck.
- I don’t know who I am anymore.
- I keep repeating the same patterns.
- I’m overwhelmed and don’t know where to start.
- I feel anxious all the time.
- I want to feel more confident.
- I struggle in my relationships.
- I find it hard to say no.
- I feel numb or disconnected.
- I want to understand myself better.
- I can’t stop overthinking.
- I feel like I’m not good enough.
- I’m going through a big life change.
- I carry things I’ve never spoken about.
- I want to make peace with my past.
- I just need someone to talk to.
What our clients say
“I feel like I’m in a better place than before, I can talk about my feelings and keep my head held high. This has been a rough journey but I did it… I never stuck to it before, I tried for years 2 sessions and I would quit. I could not have done this without you.”
“I can not express in words how grateful I am for all your guidance and understanding. I truly believe I am the strongest I have been for many years and feel empowered not only to help myself but others too.”
“Thanks for believing in me.”
“Thank you for the support. Know that you have helped me a lot even in such a small period of time.”
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You taught me so many valuable lessons and I don’t know what I would have been like today without you.”

Our counsellors
At Charnwood Counselling we want to ensure that you have the best possible experience of therapy and one that is right for you.
