Start Embracing Life
You Are Not Alone.
Many people struggle with how to live together with their emotions in a way that feels good. You might feel overcome by your emotions one moment and then completely cut off from them the next. You might even be reading this thinking, this is too much counselling talk, I don’t want to feel anything at all. Many people struggle to manage emotions on a daily basis and others have created a system where they cut themselves off completely from their emotions just to feel comfortable. But, emotions provide you with invaluable information about your needs and wants. They motivate your behavior and provide the foundation for your sense of self and by extension your social relationships.
If you’ve been trying to unsuccessfully resolve the same problems, finding it hard to connect with yourself, and those around you, or if you are struggling to figure out what’s even wrong, Lavender Counselling can help. If you think there can be more to your life than what’s going on right now, Lavender Counselling services can help.
Our complimentary conversation allows you to come in and meet one of our counsellors or even see what counselling services are all about without any expectation or pressure. If it fits, great, you can re-book. If it doesn’t, you can book another complimentary conversation with one of our other counsellors, or not. You can decide the timing isn’t right and then call us back at anytime in the future.
We use an online booking system, so you can read about our counsellors and consider who might be the best fit for you and then book right then and there, without waiting for someone to get back to you. You are welcome to book with any or all of our counsellors for a complimentary conversation until you find just the right person for you. If you’d prefer to email or call us with a question or to have us book you in, you are more than welcome to do that too. At Lavender Counselling, we truly mean that we wish to come alongside you and for us, that means that things progress at your pace and as you’re ready.
Take a moment to imagine how light and free you might feel if you could release tension and conflict from your life. Our counsellors come alongside you with warmth, acceptance, and steadiness to help you explore and access your helpful emotions so you can embrace your life.
