Welcome to Talking Changes

My name is Catherine Shaw. I am an accredited counsellor / psychotherapist with an integrative approach and a commitment to providing a safe confidential environment in which clients can work with me to try and resolve their problems and make changes big or small to improve quality of life. I work in a variety of different ways to give you insights into what is troubling you, helping you to understand and deal with painful or difficult issues.

Like most people I have found that life has its difficulties and believe that at times we all need someone to listen and help us feel heard. It’s often difficult to admit that we need support and easy to become isolated. We often choose to stay in an ‘emotional prison’ but if we had a broken leg we would have it fixed.

Do you feel the need to make changes?
Are you negative thinking?
Do you feel angry with yourself and others?
Do you struggle with relationships?
Do you feel that your life could be more content?

Counselling can help you to:
Have a greater understanding of self
Control your doubts
Empower yourself
Enrich relationships
Live in the ‘here and now’ so that the past doesn’t dictate how you live now

As a counsellor I will use my skills to help you to find your own solution to your problems. I will be there to give support, and help you to explore your issues.

I feel that it is a privilege to be able to offer help to others and to be part of their journey.
