Work through your troubles and take back control of your life

CORE CONDITIONS THERAPY CAN HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THINGS BETTER AND MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES TO YOUR LIFE

-

LIFE events happen and can come right out of the blue. They may be good, bad, welcomed or life-changing. You have no control over these events and they can leave you feeling overwhelme­d, anxious or even traumatize­d.

When these issues are not dealt with, they weigh on you, taking over your life and making you feel sad, depressed or anxious.

It can interfere with your daily life, wellbeing, physical and mental health.

If this happens, then it is the time to reach out and talk to someone to make sense of what is going on for you.

You cannot change who you are, but you can change the way they have thought about situations.

Exploring your thought processes, emotions and how you have reacted to events, in the past or the present, can help you to understand and accept what has happened.

Sharon Thomas is a therapeuti­c counsellor and founder of Core Conditions Therapy.

Sharon aims to help you along on your journey – she can’t promise to fix all of your problems but promises that you won’t have to face them alone.

Together, you’ll build a respectful relationsh­ip, where you are able to talk in a safe, confidenti­al environmen­t about whatever problems you have.

Sharon’s focus will be on you - the ‘client’ - by valuing the trust you have placed in her through sharing your story.

You will feel heard, valued and accepted. Sometimes all we need is someone to listen to and be there for us.

Talking about your problems and exploring your thoughts can enable you to see things from a different viewpoint. This can help you to understand things better, and to make positive changes to your life.

This process aims to help you to take back control of your life, make your own decisions, and live the life you want.

‘Listening is often the onLy thing needed to heLp someone’
