Self-development is just that: striving to improve the self. Self-development can be about anything. It can have specific aims and objectives or self-development counselling can be more centred around general self-improvement, self-confidence and well-being.
Social media and demands of career and personal relationships often place much emphasis on being ‘the best’ we can be. We are often expected to be fitter, faster, sharper and better. Self-development counselling helps your clients make realistic, achievable goals towards self-awareness and self-improvement.
There is no limit to what self-development therapy might be about.
There are many reasons people seek self-improvement.
Sometimes, people will want to ‘feel better’ or be more engaged with their lives and relationships. Some people will have a very clear idea of areas they want to change in their lives while others will be less sure of the goals they want to set for themselves. Self-development counselling can help identify and improve any areas of life that might need attention.
Some people use self-development counselling for help with career or family matters, when they feel stuck and unmotivated or when they feel they are not reaching their full potential. Some people have used self-development counselling to prepare for an interview, a presentation at work or other big life event. Time spent with a therapist can help focus on goals and increase motivation.
Wether it’s assertiveness, self-confidence, help with public speaking, help with interviewing skills, preparing for a wedding, help with diet or fitness goals or any other kind of personal endeavour, self-development counselling supports you along the way.

In personal therapy, we try to understand the areas you wish to improve and we help you consider the reasons you might be struggling in certain areas of your life. Therapy helps remove obstacles that hold you back. Self-development therapy is sometimes more directive than conventional therapies – our therapists will coach and motivate you through whatever your personal goals may be. We keep a close eye on your progress and help you achieve success along the way.
We use a number of different approaches to counselling to assist our clients. Each person is unique and a way that works for one person may work less well for someone else. Your therapist will support you in a way that works best for you.
We also specialise in confidence counselling for problems with personal self-confidence.
With text messages, online networking and email so easy, talking to another person may seem old-fashioned. These days, communication is abbreviated and electronic. A quick text message or a short email is usually enough to get our message across. But humans have been talking to each…
