Feeling lost?
As an intelligent person, you’ll already understand that at some point in life most of us will experience a time of feeling confused or lost. I am guessing you’ll also appreciate how hard it is to know what to do when you find yourself in this place and how difficult it can be to ask for help. The sensation is at times overwhelming and can feel very painful or frightening, often making us feel alone....
If you’ve found your way to the therapy pages and you’re searching for a counsellor then you’ve already made the biggest step of all – acknowledging to yourself that you need some support. If you find yourself at this point then this might be the right path for you and the help you seek is close at hand. I invite you now to take a deep breath and begin your journey. Choose a therapist that speaks to you, trust your instincts and don’t fret about how the experience is going to be or if you have to keep going once you’ve started. Most counsellors will be happy to offer you an introductory session for free or at a reduced price so you can find out who you’ll be working with and decide if you want to tread this path; or perhaps look for a different therapist or maybe even for a different therapy. Counselling is only ever as good as the relationship you create with your therapist, if it doesn’t feel right for you then your counsellor will not be offended but will want to help you find the right person to work with.
Remember you are in control of your therapy and ultimately your own healing, a counsellor is merely your guide.
Is this for me?
I'm not sure counselling is for me..
Counselling for me is something sacred. Something I cherish. When I am talking to my counsellor I am inhabiting a space that feels sort of spiritual (not in any religious sense). What I mean is that it is not something material, but is an energy or feeling created between me and my therapist that is on some level affecting my core, my soul (the deep sense I hold within my being, about who I am). I feel as though my counsellor is enabling me to better know myself, helping me to access a place of real knowledge and truth within me. She is reuniting me with parts of my personality that have been lost or hidden in the shadows. I experience a sense of feeling whole, complete somehow, as my counsellor supports me in rediscovering who I am and enables me to accept all that I find. I feel at peace experiencing this. Of course there is quite a journey to travel before I find this place of peace but while I walk with her I feel safe and more than that, I feel visible and alive.
When I work as a therapist, as your counsellor, as a companion on your journey of discovery my role is to enable you to find all the answers you seek. It is not my place to fill you with any new beliefs or information, or rules on how you should conduct yourself, my task as your guide is to enable you, as Eckhart Tolle wrote, “to remove that which separates you from the truth of who you already are and what you already know in the depth of your being” (Stillness Speaks, 2003). This is the foundation of my counselling practice.
Why hidden tree?
Why Hidden Tree? The idea came to me one day while looking at a painting not dissimilar to the logo you see at the top of this page. It tapped into a part of me which instinctively understood how I wanted to work with people. It is my ardent belief that within each and everyone of us there is the potential for change and growth. That encased in the darkest of shadows lays dormant a tree (potential) which for the want of light (recognition and acceptance) is failing to thrive and grow.
I don’t pertain to any particular organised religion, but I do feel a connection with nature and in particular with trees.
The symbol of the tree for me is very much about strength and wholeness. I believe there is a connection between our foundations, (the roots of the tree) which keeps us connected to our core, our truth (the trunk of the tree) and our ultimate fulfilment and happiness (the branches of the tree). A tree appears only complete when all three elements are in place, it is then self sustaining and beautiful to behold. I believe this to be true for human beings also.
I am interested in helping people to find their truths, which I believe in turn allows them to become self-sustaining and happy individuals. Aknowledging and accepting who you are, even the bits you consider to be ugly and objectionable, enables you to realise your full potential and lead a fulfilling and positive life.
Your Hidden Tree is the beauty that you can't see, the child inside you that you have turned away from and the knowledge that you have forgotten you know.
Once realised it is the breath that will sustain you.
Moving forward
Looking For A New Direction?
Not everyone who seeks counselling is struggling with a break up, a death, addiction or pain of some kind. Sometimes you might find yourself simply wishing to lead a fuller more positive life, or to release your creativity. Maybe you wish to be more assertive, to have more choices, to find your voice and develop your confidence; Learn how to say NO! You might have reached a stage in life where things have stopped flowing. Perhaps you are trying to work out what you want from life? At Hidden Tree we are happy to explore all these areas with you as well as any stress or anxiety or feelings of anger, confusion, frustration, sadness or pain that you may be experiencing.
