Understanding What Is Counselling - Your Path to Healing and Growth
Person-Centred Counselling
At Pause for Counselling in Aberdeen, I offer personalised support to help you explore what is counselling and its benefits. The person-centred approach creates a safe and understanding space for you to delve into your emotions and experiences. I aim to guide you towards achieving balance, authenticity, and inner strength. If you’re wondering what is counselling and how it can help you, take the first step by scheduling a free 15-minute consultation with me today.
At the heart of person-centred counselling is a simple but powerful idea: you are the expert on your own life. This approach offers a safe, supportive space where you can talk freely, feel truly heard, and explore what’s going on for you—without judgement or pressure.
People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons—stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Whatever brings you here, person-centred counselling allows you to explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace, in your own way.
In our sessions, I won’t offer advice or tell you what to do. Instead, I provide a calm, confidential environment where we can work together to help you:
-
Understand yourself more deeply
-
Make sense of difficult emotions
-
Move toward a more balanced, authentic life
This approach is grounded in three core conditions:
-
Empathy – feeling understood, not just heard
-
Unconditional positive regard – being accepted exactly as you are
-
Congruence – working with openness and honesty
These conditions create the right environment for healing, growth, and meaningful change.
Whether you're facing something specific or just have a sense that things aren’t quite right, person-centred therapy supports you in finding your own answers, building inner strength, and making choices that align with who you are.
Therapy is your space—and your journey. I’m here to walk alongside you.
