How can counselling help you?

I know first hand that dealing with change, grief, and loss can be incredibly tough. It’s like being thrown into a storm and struggling to find your footing. Whether you're experiencing the end of a significant relationship, the loss of a loved one, or a major life shift, it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed and disoriented right now. Your emotions are valid, and it’s okay to feel the way you do.

​

Counselling can be a really helpful space for you during this time. It’s a place where you can openly talk about what you’re going through, without judgment. I’m here to listen and help you make sense of your feelings, offering support as you work through this difficult period. Together, we can explore your emotions and develop ways to cope that fit your unique situation.

​

You don’t have to face this alone. With counselling, you can find a way to navigate through the pain and eventually discover a sense of balance and hope again. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering compassion and guidance as you take each step forward.

Kind Words

“I highly recommend Doves Counselling because of the peace and clarity it has given me. I wouldn’t have got through this past year without Donna’s support, her warmth and positivity was exactly what I needed to get me through the hard times. I went from being lost in a fog of grief and sadness, where everything was too hard, to come out the other side being happy and knowing that I matter and my feelings and opinions are important. I am grateful for Donna teaching me to be kind to myself, it has opened my eyes and empowered me to move forward in my life with positive decisions."
