About Kerslake Counselling

Counselling can change the way you view yourself and others. Do you sometimes feel there is a different way you could respond to other people? Do you wish you had a better understanding of why you act the way you do?

Counselling/Therapy is about finding the sense of you that may have been missing. Is something holding you back from being your true self or has something in your life had a big impact? It could be the case that you don’t know what that is. Counselling can offer a way to know more about yourself at a pace that suits you. You may find that things come up that are difficult to face and you don’t have to face them if you don’t want to. The ownership of and consent for your journey is most important. Your pace can change – you may want to go all out for a topic and then at other times just be on the fringes looking in from the outside. I will operate as your guide through this helping to piece together certain connections or joining the dots.

I believe that you have the innate ability to recognise things for yourself and make changes that you see are suitable. If you are given the right conditions of warmth, care and non-judgement by me your counsellor, you have the best conditions to allow space to recall memories and experiences. Any emotions that you experience you may assign a positive, neutral or negative feeling. Counselling helps you to understand that all emotions are part of being a person and the person you are is 100% good and striving. What tends to get in the way is feelings of worth or judgement that have been ingrained over a period of time. Once these can be seen as opinions that have been taken on, from other people, and may not represent reality then there can be a path to finding who you are and what is meaningful to you. Life’s events can put a speed bump in this journey or even feel like a wall that has to be knocked down or a hurdle that is too high. With learning compassion and kindness for yourself you can decide what you want to do. It’s not always a straightforward answer and sometimes you could feel that you’re not getting anywhere. But the act of making the step to be in counselling is by its nature, movement. Your journey can start.

The counselling relationship is very important and I hold that responsibility dearly to allow you to be the most comfortable that you can be in the counselling space. If that is not the case I think it is important that you feel you can address that and know it will received and heard. In the way that I interact with you I hope that ease will be demonstrated.
