Welcome to Rose Vala Counselling and Psychotherapy ​

​

We can all have times in our lives when things can seem unmanageable, whether it is within our family or close relationships, divorce or bereavement, or our health, our work or in coming to terms with difficult events that have happened either recently or in the past which still don’t feel resolved. You are not alone, as human beings we all have difficult times. It is a brave decision to try to resolve those issues in the best way you can.

How can a counsellor help?

People sometimes ask “How can it help to talk to a stranger?” A counsellor is there to help and support you through a difficult or challenging time. They have years of training and experience in helping people with similar issues. While friends and family are essential for support they also have their own worries and concerns and may be just too close to the situation to give you the dedicated help and support you need.

A counsellor is not there to judge you, or to give you text book solutions. They are there to help and guide you towards the solution that is right for you. Emotional difficulties of one kind or another are incredibly common, it’s just that most people have become expert at disguising their difficulties from others.
