Chrysalis Counselling

Counselling focuses on YOU:
~Listening to YOU
~How YOU are feeling
~What is affecting YOU
Counselling is a way of enabling choice or change, by empowering YOU to develop and grow.

Are you struggling at the moment?

Are you experiencing any of these?

~Stress / Anxiety
~Depression
~Bereavement / Loss
~Anger
~Relationship Difficulties
~Low Self-esteem
~Abuse
~Addictions
~General life changes

This is by no means an extensive list of the many things that can trouble individuals.

If something is affecting you in a way you do not like, then you may benefit from counselling.

WHO AM I?

My name is Carol; before I started training as a Therapuetic Counsellor, my life experience includes being a Residential /Nursing Home Proprietor for the elderly, from 1992 to 1998. It was during this time that my vocation in life became apparent.

I became a committed Christian in 1996, eventually completing a Local Lay Ministry Course in the Diocese of Sheffield; becoming an authorized Pastoral Worker in 2005.

Having a special interest in bereavement support, I also trained to become a volunteer support worker for Cruse Bereavement Care.

During my counsellor training, I mainly worked within the prison service as a member of the Chaplaincy Team.

I have experience of working with male and female clients, on both a long and short term basis; working with relationship difficulties, bereavement, stress, depression, and physical and sexual abuse to name but a few.

As a Christian counsellor, my faith underpins my practice; which seeks to help people towards constructive change and growth in any or every aspect of their lives, through a caring non-judgemental relationship, within agreed relational boundaries.
