Recognising you need professional support to discuss and understand your feelings is a valuable first step in the healing process. As a qualified psychotherapist, Paul Barrett offers counselling in SW London with individual clients to help them move positively forward in their lives. Working with Paul gives clients the safe environment they need to talk through and work through feelings, emotions, and experiences. So, let’s look at why you may consider counselling.

For Personal Development

Counselling can help you to find new ways to grow as a person. It can help you to become a better person and the additional input of a professional counsellor can help to spark and ignite your personal development and work towards traits and behaviours you aspire to.

For Prevention

Your mental health is something that needs regular work. You keep your car and your home in good order, so why not your brain too? Counselling can be an effective tool for managing and preventing yourself from being overwhelmed by difficult thoughts, trigger behaviours and it can help you shore yourself up against future challenges and build resilience.

For Better Understanding of your Past

There is a huge growth in the popularity of DNA testing kits and exploring our family history and you can view counselling in this way too. You can look at your family and history in a counselling context and explore how it shaped who you are and for a better understanding of your past

For Changing Relationship Patterns

Taking time to go over what has gone wrong in your past, in all kinds of relationships, can be a valuable way of moving forward. Taking stock of past experiences and exploring them in a safe space with your counsellor can help to identify patterns and things to avoid in the future.

For Ditching Bad Habits

Maybe you’re not even aware of the bad habits you have but opening up to a counsellor could help you recognise them. Counselling can help you to get to the root of the resistance. It can help you to overcome any obstacles in a safe and non-judgemental space.

For Building a New Normal

Many people are living with the impact of trauma. Building a way back to normal is important to live happily again. You may not think counselling can help but it could be the first step in finding your new normal.

For Personal Investment

Everyone deserves to be happy and find their own inner peace. Investing in yourself through counselling is a chance to work towards a happier future. You shouldn’t have to live unhappily, and the right counsellor can help you find your happiness.
