Online Counselling in Bournemouth, Dorset

Taking the first step in making a positive change in your life, is as easy as booking a counselling assessment consultation through this website.

At various times in our lives, we all encounter challenges and experience unhappy periods. Sometimes the challenges are so great or so many that we may feel overwhelmed and confused.

At such times, it is important to have someone understanding to talk to and support us.

Online counselling with a professional, unbiased, and empathetic counsellor in a safe and supportive environment can help individuals cope with challenges and find a path forward. This accessible approach provides the guidance needed to navigate personal struggles and achieve emotional well-being.

“It is very difficult to see the picture, from inside the picture.”

Why do we need a counsellor?

Often people rely on friends at difficult times and whilst this can be enormously helpful, friends, by their very nature, cannot be unbiased and do not have the expertise of a professional.

In one sense, a counselling relationship is a bit like hiring a professional friend. Like all talking therapy, counselling can have a profoundly beneficial effect on your mental health, particularly if you are suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or indeed any emotional difficulties.

Can therapy really help?

Many people believe they are simply ‘stuck’ with how they think, feel or behave. Nothing could be further from the truth! There is little that can happen that cannot be fixed.

Deciding to undertake a course of counselling and making a commitment to undertake therapy can enable you to understand why you think, feel or behave as you do, how it originated and most importantly what you can do to change those feelings and behaviours.

Are there some people who cannot be helped?

Bereavement is one of the few situations where change may not be possible. However, through online counselling and psychotherapy, our experienced Bournemouth counsellor can help you, over time, accept what cannot be changed and find ways to enjoy life in other areas. Online counselling provides a supportive space to navigate grief and rediscover balance in your life.

Will a counsellor tell me what to do?

The purpose of therapy is for the counsellor to help you to help yourself, and counsellors do this in many different ways. Sometimes just by empathic listening, as often, merely speaking out loud about your problems can help you put your thoughts in order.

Dolphin Hypnotherapy’s counselling and therapy service will not tell you what to do, and you will always be encouraged to make your own choices.

However, a counsellor may help you examine a full range of options in a confidential environment, and discuss the pros and cons of each, so you can make a more informed decision and or come to terms with difficult feelings.

During therapy, we may explore the past but the main focus will be on the needs of the present and what you desire for the future.
