Christa Barry

Profile

I am a qualified counsellor with10 years experience of working with individuals who have come with a wide range of problems, wondering if counselling can help. If you are at that point in your life, I can offer a safe, supportive, confidential and non-judgmental space where, within the therapeutic relationship, you can explore your feelings and thoughts about the situation you are in. It is not easy work, but it can be quite exciting to discover new things about yourself, discoveries that can bring about change and growth both for you personally, and in the problem areas of your life. Counselling can help you through that process.

If you would like to hear more or ask any questions do contact me. If you then decide to take things further, we can arrange an initial session  which will give me the opportunity to make sure that my skills and expertise are the best ones for the issues you are bringing. and also give us both an opportunity to sense whether we would enjoy working together.
