Orion Counselling Services
How am I able to help you?
- Do you find yourself having unwanted thoughts that make you feel overwhelmed and anxious?
- Maybe you lie awake at night and can’t stop unpleasant thoughts going round your head?
- Perhaps you notice that your heart races, your breathing becomes faster or you feel panicky?
By being able to talk freely and openly in confidence to an experienced counsellor can help you understand what is lying underneath your thoughts and feelings. Clients often say that a weight has been lifted by simply being able to speak about their worries and be listened to.
You can expect a safe and confidential space to talk about whatever is bothering you, there is no judgement and you are free to talk about whatever you need to.

Individual counselling
What will happen at your first appointment?
At your first session I will ask you a few questions, discuss some of the circumstances that have bought you to counselling and look at how therapy might be useful to you. You will have an opportunity to ask any questions you have about counselling.
At the end of the initial session, you will be able to decide whether you would like to continue with further appointments.
People often ask…
“What are the benefits of counselling?”
Research continues to show us that being able to talk to someone who listens without judgement, can help lead to a sense of relief, an ‘unburdening’. Counselling can help with working through problems, help you gain a different perspective on what is happening for you, building confidence and appreciating that there are always options for you.
Here is what my clients say
“Linda is helping me explore the many aspects and events of life. We explore the things I am feeling and techniques available to help me cope with situations form sadness to stress and frustration.”
“I have found her sessions with me very useful. It is important to make a ‘connection’ with and trust your therapist, which I do.”
“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if I can let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a little on the right hand corner, and put a bit more purple along the base, and use a little more pink in the cloud colour.” I don’t do that. I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch it with awe as it unfolds.”
