Welcome to Bright Beginnings Counselling
Find Your Path to bright beginnings
It’s difficult to know where to start when life feels hard & each day seems to get that little bit harder.
What do we do?
About Bright Beginnings
The Mission
I understand that life is rarely ever easy.
I can support you in finding a way forward - find a more positive path in life. Come and sit down in a comfortable, informal room with a cuppa (or water) in a safe place where you can talk In confidence. I promise to always make you feel safe and heard.
Never underestimate the power of talk!
What I offer
If you're struggling with anxiety, stress, bullying, depression, bereavement, just feeling stuck - no matter what it is, i'm here to help. I will use what you tell me and help you learn practical coping strategies to manage your symptoms. I will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that meets your unique needs. I cater for all ages starting from young children, any gender. A treatment plan isn't always needed - don't underestimate the power of talking.
How can I help make you more comfortable...
I supply FREE coffee/teas, water during and throughout all our sessions. (don't worry, there is a bathroom)
I also have a huge supply of fidget toys, weighted teddies, stress relief toys, oils for relaxation and breathing tools to help you feel relaxed. These are for use to everybody during every session.
I supply blankets and cushions (try not to fall asleep) to help make you feel comfortable, safe and secure.
If there’s anything you wish to bring to help you feel safe during a session please discuss this with me (sorry no pets, unfortunately - but I wish I could fit a horse in the counselling room) If there's also anything I can do within the counselling room to make your experience more comfortable, please let me know.
I will also provide you with help/worksheets if I feel these will be helpful to you inside or outside of the counselling room.
Journal
I also supply a FREE small blank journal and pen pack to everybody when you start your first session. This can be used to write notes during sessions or for any questions. It can also be used for writing down all your thoughts and feelings, inside and outside the counselling room. These do not have to be shared with me - unless you want to.
If a journal isn’t your thing then that’s absolutely fine!
Feeling ready for the next step?
There will never be any pressure from me.
Come & meet me in person or you can call if you prefer. I offer a FREE 20 minute meet and chat.
This is where you can ask me any questions (even if you think it’s silly, I promise it’s not). I can talk you through everything you wish to know.
Most importantly I can help put your mind at ease (hopefully).
If you are ready to start the work to getting things on track then we can book your first session ( I am honoured ).
Sessions
You can book weekly or fortnightly sessions, depending on what you need. Sessions are always flexible - I do recommend regular, consistent sessions as this will provide greater effective treatment.
I provide In-person (face to face), online via Zoom or by phone, whatever works best for you. It’s about you being comfortable and feeling safe. Sessions are flexible and ALWAYS tailored to your needs. The choice is yours.
Sessions are ALL ABOUT YOU, ALWAYS!
This is your space, your time, your process.
We will check in regularly and review our progress. We can change anything at any point. This is your journey.
I hope this is the start of BRIGHT BEGINNINGS!
