Counselling can help you work through low self esteem and emotional stress
The midlife years often bring significant changes which can stir up a range of emotions. It’s a time of transition that can challenge your sense of both self and your relationships. Maybe you can relate to feelings of:
- General feelings of anxiety
- Low self-esteem and confidence
- Shame or guilt
- An inner critic that is hard to silence
- An inability to relax or take time for yourself
- A sense of loss or grief
- Feelings of frustration or anger
Counselling can provide support during the midlife years by holding space for all the emotions women experience during this transformative time. Some key reasons to seek counselling can include:
- You want to better understand your emotions and explore how to best support yourself.
- You’re feeling overwhelmed by the increasing demands of supporting your family, and/or managing increased work responsibilities.
- You want to explore shifts in your identity – making peace with past versions of yourself and discovering the emerging version of who you are becoming.
How do Counselling sessions work?
I know from personal experience and through my training that the relationship between counsellor and therapist is at the heart of the work that we do. The value that counselling sessions can give is to provide a quiet space away from the noise of the outside world to give the client a chance to explore, reflect and untangle their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
All my clients can expect to be treated with respect, non-judgement, and empathy. While I cannot give any easy answers, I am there to listen deeply and to give you a safe space to talk freely and unfiltered.
Some possible considerations during sessions could look like working with:
- Self-love
- Self-compassion
- Addressing limiting beliefs that are holding you back
- Boundaries
Why choose to work with me?
I have gone through my own struggles in the past and been through the process of counselling so I understand that beginning the journey of counselling can feel daunting, but I also know that it can be deeply rewarding and liberating work.
My own personal experience meant learning to accept myself and exploring new ideas of myself, my relationships and what I truly wanted in my life. This process of shedding old identities and unhelpful beliefs led me to choose the name Autumn Counselling as, for me, it aligned with the idea of making time for reflection, letting go of what no longer serve us and growing beyond these limiting beliefs into the new.
