What is Counselling?

Counselling is a collaborative process between a counsellor and a client aimed at exploring and addressing personal issues, emotional challenges, and mental health concerns. It provides a safe, confidential space where individuals can express their thoughts and feelings, gain insights, and develop coping strategies to improve their well-being.

Counsellors are not there to tell you what to do, but to encourage you to explore the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing, moving towards change and growth in any or every aspect of your life.

How Does Counselling Work?

Counselling typically involves regular sessions with a trained counsellor who listens without judgment and helps you understand your feelings and behaviours. These sessions can be tailored to your specific needs and may include techniques from various therapeutic approaches. Each of you are unique in your perceptions and outlooks, processing and coping abilities. So the counselling style and each session will be tailored to you individually.

Benefits of counselling

Counselling provides a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings, helping you gain insights and develop coping strategies. It can improve emotional well-being, enhance relationships, and equip you with tools to manage stress and overcome personal challenges

OUR Approach

Holistic Counselling

Holistic counselling is an integrative approach to therapy that considers the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—in the healing process. Unlike traditional counselling, which may focus solely on mental health, holistic counselling aims to address emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. By treating the individual as a whole, holistic counselling seeks to promote overall balance and well-being, helping clients achieve deeper self-awareness and lasting personal growth.

Physical Health

The power of good nutrition affects the brain and body.
Stress, depression and anxiety all have negative effects on our immunity and bodily functions.

Emotional Health

Negative thoughts, emotions and trauma are stored in the body following the research by the leading trauma expert Bessel Van Der Kolk affecting the nervous system and the entire organism.

Mental Health

The power of thoughts affect our emotions and can influence our behaviors, choices and general wellbeing. The way we perceive the world is often linked to the meanings we give to our experiences.

Spiritual Health

We look at the person as a whole and what brings them a deep sense of aliveness and sense of interconnectedness, realizing that the search for meaning and fulfillment, purpose and identity is a universal experience that touches us all.

My daughter suffered darkest times in her life before seeing Donna. Being a parent, I was devastated to the core. Luckily I found ReWellness while searching for help on Google. Donna quickly gained my daughter’s trust and built up good relations with her. She helped to resume my daughter’s hope and courage to live a better life, taught her many useful skills and tools to cope with difficulties and to overcome anxieties. After a few month’s therapy, I feel I no longer need to worry much about her self-harm thoughts or behaviours. She’s generally much happier now than before. I am deeply impressed, not only by Donna’s professionalism, but also that her being genuinely passionate in offering the help to as many young people as she can. I would confidently say as soon as your children meet Donna, they are pretty much in safe hands.

My 12 years old daughter has been seeing Donna for few months now and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The issues started when she went to high school and couldn’t cope with it all. The friendships, bullying, confidence and self esteem etc. As I parent I felt helpless as I couldn’t solve it no matter how hard I’ve tried and wasn’t getting any help from anywhere else. I found Donna and from the first message I knew I made the right choice. Donna was very professional, understanding and helpful and didn’t make us wait managed to see my daughter very quickly which was important. From day one Donna managed to have a great connection with my daughter who is always looking forward to seeing her. I finally have my daughter back, happy, bubbly and confident again! I’m so thankful for all the hard work! I would definitely 100% recommend! :)

We have found Donna integral to our daughter managing her day to day anxiety. She has taught her various skills and given her the tools to overcome the anxiety and to achieve her goals. Thanks Donna ☺️

My son has been seeing Wendy for a few weeks now and it's made such a difference. He suffers with trichotillomania and she's been able to identify the root cause and figure out ways of trying to resolve it altogether. His confidence has grown and he's more able to discuss things with me now. He absolutely loves his sessions and she's also been a great help for me, allowing me to understand him better and giving me tips and techniques on being able to improve his self esteem and help him at home. I can't recommend Wendy enough, she's been an absolute godsend for us. Thank you so much Wendy!

Wendy spent lots of time with my son, working through his worries and giving him a safe space to talk. He really enjoyed his play sessions. Thank you Wendy

I have taken my daughter to Wendy as she struggled with my divorce from her dad and had problems with her anger. My daughter built up relationship with her almost imidiatelly and often asked throughout the week when she’s going to see Wendy. It was very clear to me that my daughter trusted Wendy and felt safe to share her emotions with her. My daughter didn’t tell me much about their sessions but I could notice some changes in her behaviour and within few weeks she became less aggressive towards me and seemed to come to terms with my divorce and her dad leaving family home. I was particularly impressed with sandpit work which they’ve done together. Wendy shared pictures of their therapeutic work and it gave me lots of insight into my child’s internal world, how she sees me as her parent, what does she feel. Overall after few sessions I felt like my daughter is supported by brilliant, knowledgable therapist who both of us trusted. I would highly recommend her service to any child and parent who struggle.

Absolutely amazing! Did wonders for my 13 year old suffering with anxiety and depression. Donna is a really lovely lady, both myself and my daughter cannot thank her enough! Tried other counselling previously but did not help. So glad we found them.
