Organisations

There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding counselling, it is often viewed as a place that people go when they feel they are losing their mind or have suffered a life changing event such as death or trauma. Counselling is able to support in these situations, but is also about providing a safe space for a person to go when they have a lot going on in their minds/lives and need some time to make sense of it. We all face tough situations every day and normally we manage just fine, however there are times when life can get too much and our mind and body tell us that they are struggling to understand and can’t quite process what has happened. This is where counselling can help, as you have a space, where you can sit uninterrupted to try to make sense of your world, and the therapist is there to provide support, not answers (although when a counsellor and a client work together, answers are often found).

Key Principles

CounsellingWorx is founded upon these key principles.

Relationship

The counselling relationship needs to be built on trust. Trust is fundamental from the client and therapist’s perspective. The client needs to feel comfortable in order to be open and honest about their thoughts/situation and the therapist needs to trust that through the client/therapist’s work together, effective long lasting change for the client can be found.

Space Sharing

The counselling room/environment is shared by both the client and the therapist. CounsellingWorx offers the client warmth, empathy, honesty and acceptance, believing that by offering these qualities within the counselling room, the counselling process will begin. We also recognise that sometimes people are more comfortable in their own surroundings so our therapists will come to you in person, over the phone, or via the internet, if this is something that you feel will help you engage in counselling.

Person Centred

CounsellingWorx offers client-centred therapy which means that through the counselling process, the client will learn to trust their own decision making processes, become more open to new experiences and learn strategies which the client can continue to use long after therapy has finished.

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

Government research has shown that positive employee wellbeing results in a more productive workplace. Stress and low mental health among employees can dramatically affect an organisation in terms of long term sick and employees not fulfilling their roles. The result of this can mean that, for some employees, work becomes a 'place' that is associated with feeling out of control and anxious which can often contribute to long term mental health conditions such as depression.

CounsellingWorx are able to offer CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to work with individuals to identify sources of stress and low mental health and implement strategies and tools that will help improve employee wellbeing.

Benefits of CBT for businesses

CBT is a tried and tested method of psychotherapy which recognises that a person’s thoughts, feelings, emotions, behaviour and body are all connected. If we are able to change one of these areas, for example our thoughts, then all the other areas will automatically be altered. CBT works to identify problematic thoughts and behaviour patterns, and strategies are introduced to help create a more balanced way of thinking. These strategies can be used effectively long after therapy has finished.

In addition to CBT, our sister company CoachingWorx can provide coaching solutions for your employees, please visit CoachingWorx for more information.

Abby really helped our whole family to understand what the issues were and then helped us to work through them – the impacts have been very real.

I have walked away from previous counsellors and sessions feeling like I was wasting my money, Abby was different, she was calm, relaxed, courteous and non-judgmental. I feel that she understood how I was feeling and I always walked away feeling that our sessions had been productive

I have had the best experience working with CounsellingWorx on my anxiety. They have helped me to grow to be much more confident with dealing with it head on. I have received all the support I needed.

Abby really helped me to figure out and have an understanding of what I needed out of life, how to live and not just exist

Absolutely incredible support. Explains important concepts and counselling tools in order to ground your counselling, and creates a solid foundation to build upon. Listens carefully and bridges the gaps, and helps you navigate your way through the various conflicts and issues.

The patience and guidance I received changed my life and gave me clarity, when I thought it might be impossible to achieve. I immediately felt at ease and comfortable, which made all the difference for me. Would definitely recommend.
