Anger, shame and depression

I came to counselling with angry outbursts, feelings of guilt and shame, depression, and anxiety.

Shelley helped me to step back and take a broader look beyond my own projections of events, and to understand patterns of behaviour that had become problematic; she helped me reach a greater understanding of why I react in certain ways, based on childhood and other factors.

I definitely feel more sure of myself since having counselling, and more able to step back and understand my reactions. I'm still working on letting things get to me less, but it's good not to feel that's inevitable anymore.

This was a worthwhile investment for me, though everyone needs to balance their need against the financial burden. I'd recommend it, definitely, and I'm very grateful to Shelley for four years of working through some big issues with me.
