Counselling

Counselling offers you time to be heard – to speak openly with a trained professional who will listen with compassion, without judgment. It’s a space where you can begin to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and take the first steps towards meaningful change.

Your counsellor will support you in exploring what’s going on in your life, helping you develop deeper awareness of the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be holding you back.

Together, you’ll begin to build practical tools and emotional insight – to challenge unhelpful thinking, process difficult feelings, and move toward greater clarity and self-understanding.

Counselling isn’t only for times of crisis. It’s also a powerful space for personal growth – helping you build confidence, reconnect with your strengths, and create positive momentum in your life.

At EmotionMatters, we know that lasting change starts with time — time to talk, time to feel, and time to explore what’s going on in your life.

That’s why all new clients begin with a 50-minute Initial Consultation. This gives you the opportunity to meet your counsellor, ask questions, and experience the space we offer before deciding to move forward.

If it feels like the right fit, you’ll be invited to commit to 10 hours of counselling time, which you can use in a way that works for you.

Most clients choose:

• 12 x 50-minute sessions
• Weekly or fortnightly appointments
• A focused timeframe to work through specific life issues or emotional challenges

Here’s what to expect from your counselling journey:

• Sessions are 50 minutes in length
• You’ll be encouraged to talk through your concerns, express emotions safely, and reflect on what’s keeping you stuck
• Your counsellor will listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and support you with empathy and structure
• Together, you’ll agree on the focus and pace of your sessions

Counselling can support you in:

• Gaining clarity about difficult life situations
• Managing anxiety, stress, or low mood
• Developing confidence and self-worth
• Improving emotional regulation and communication
• Finding healthier ways to cope with day-to-day challenges

Counselling gives you space to feel supported and empowered – so you can move forward with greater resilience, awareness and ease.
