WITH family celebrations drawing closer as the dark winter nights draw in, people can find an increase in anxiety and tension impacting on everyday life.

Talking through issues with a qualified counsellor allows time to explore thoughts and feelings and take a closer look at relationships with others in a safe, confidential setting. 

Su Stokes, BACP Accredited Counsellor, supports people towards greater understanding and new ways of thinking, which can have a positive effect on people’s lives.

Su, who works at The Terrace, a complementary health centre based in Taunton, said: “Being listened to by someone skilled can assist in understanding how past experiences and current behaviour may be linked.

“This awareness can lead to a more creative understanding of situations and behaviours.  

“Counselling can help people make more sense of things which are troublesome, identify changes they may wish to make and provide support throughout.”
