Human Givens Counselling and Therapy in Cardiff
Is your head full of difficult, muddled, confusing thoughts endlessly circling and interfering with your sleep?
Do you feel overwhelmed by intense emotions uncertain how to manage them and feel safe, balanced and in control again?
Are you struggling to make sense of sudden unexpected, or inevitable changes with a loss of direction and meaning in your life?
Counselling may be exactly what you need right now to help with these and many more difficulties you may be experiencing.
My name is Helga Moore and I have been a practising counsellor for 23 years the last 10 working in Cardiff as a Human Givens Therapist.
I am committed to providing counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I work with adults, children and couples on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.
We all have essential emotional needs for security, control, connection, intimacy, attention, achievement, status, privacy and meaning. Sometimes we find it difficult to get all our needs met in balance and we are unable to use our innate mental resources to help us achieve this. Often we misuse our imagination and become over emotional so that we are unable to see clearly how to move forward, make the necessary changes and feel happy and fulfilled again.
There are many reasons why this can happen. You may have experienced a huge change, a traumatic loss, or unfair treatment in a relationship, in childhood, or at work. Talking through your experiences can be incredibly healing, developing new perspectives, clarity of understanding and a new sense of direction and hope. It also offers you the time and space to learn new ways of understanding mental health and what you can do to change the way you feel, think and behave.

Thoughts for the month
And finally we are moving into March after a very wet February which for most of us I'm sure has felt quite long and difficult to negotiate... Spring is finally on its way with longer days and lets hope more sunshine! The bulbs are coming out and the colour is returning.Time to come out of hibernation maybe and stretch into the next phase of the year....Here is a poem which I love and which to me signifies hope and compassion - I hope it touches you as it did me....
The Gleam - by David Whyte
Sometimes
In the midst
of every difficult
and everyday
awkward
way you try to
make your
onward way,
sometimes
sitting down
at the edge
of everything
that has made you
too tired
to take
another step
there’s that
caught sight,
now here,
now gone
of a half imagined
wavering light
just among
the trees
just a gleam
or a wisp
of white gold
in the dying sun
a strange kind
of beckoning,
an ache
outlined
so intimately
as it is,
against
all of the doings
you have
labelled
so lovingly
as sins,
the place you
should have gone
all those years ago
still, it seems,
willing
to invite you again,
simpler this time,
not too far away,
touchable now,
and within reach
just a single step
on the other side
of what you always
come to call
in the end,
forgiveness.
