When we or a loved one are affected by unresolved issues whether from the past or the present day, we can often feel there is a limit to what we feel able to share with those closest to us for fear of "adding to the burden", "appearing as weak" or just "unable to cope". This, in turn, can result in feelings of frustration, anger, loneliness and not feeling understood. You may have started to withdraw from activities you would usually enjoy.
It is paramount that you feel safe and I am dedicated to offering a respectful non-judgemental counselling service where you can begin to acknowledge and trust your own ability to facilitate change. You may not be someone who would naturally turn to a counsellor but you are begining to take those first tentative steps already!
