Hello I'm Louise Bol
Welcome to Solace Counselling
It's likely you're visiting my website because things have become difficult,
or even unbearable for you.
At times it can feel as though no one really understands
I'm a CBT (Cognitive Behavioural) Therapist, Person-centred Counsellor,
and Counselling Supervisor,
who feels really strongly about the importance of attending to our metal health.
When we have a physical ailment, we visit our GP and, if needed are given medication, or a referral.
When we have a mental health issue such as anxiety, low mood, general anxiety disorder, OCD, etc.
or we've had a loss or bereavement, it's more difficult to know where to access the support you need.
Many people suffer in silence.
If you have given counselling some thought, you'll have noticed that most agencies in our area deal with
specific issues, and many have long waiting lists, and your problem isn't getting better on its own.
People often hesitate to access private counselling.
Perhaps it’s the stigma? Maybe it’s the cost? Possibly it's worry about what it is? and will it work?
All these are understandable concerns which can stop people getting the help they really need.
But why not give it a go?
By looking online for help you've already taken that first, difficult step,
So whatever problem you're experiencing, and however insurmountable it might seem at this moment in time,
please don't struggle on alone.
Please feel free to look at my web pages and if you feel I may be the right counsellor to work with you, contact me for a free, no commitment, 20 minute initial appointment which will let you decide.
