Welcome to Talkthinkact Counselling
Talk...Think...Act...
Are you here because you are considering what counselling might be able to do for you, or somebody else that you care about?
My name is Sally Spigner, I am a qualified BACP registered counsellor, offering both short and longer term counselling and psychotherapy from a relaxed and peaceful office within my home. I work with adult clients and teenagers on a wide variety of issues, do feel free to call and have an informal chat.
It doesn't need to be a daunting or frightening experience, let me put your mind at ease.
How Counselling Can Help
Counselling provides a safe place in which you can confidentially examine a problem, without having to involve either family or friends. It allows you to start to see your issues from a new perspective, perhaps rehearsing difficult conversations before you have them, or doing some exercises to help you to explore what is really important in your life.
As your counsellor I hope to help you to formulate your next move, supporting without judgment. I am unlikely to be shocked or embarrassed by anything which has happened to you in your past, I am not here to make you feel bad about decisions you have previously made, but rather to encourage you to commit to the best choices going on from here.
Who needs counselling?
1 in 4 of us in the UK will find ourselves struggling with mental health challenges every year and suicide is the biggest killer of men aged under 50.
If you are overreacting to day to day situations and don't know why, feeling angry all the time or overly tearful, or perhaps unable to make what should be the simplest of decisions, at these times counselling can help you to regain your balance. Consider counselling as promoting mental fitness, in the same way as you might enrol in a gym for your physical wellbeing.
There really is no need for you to face your problems alone.
