Why Finding the Right Counsellor Matters
Starting counselling can feel like a big, brave step — and it is. It’s a decision to invest in yourself, to work through what’s been heavy on your heart, and to move toward a life that feels more like your own. But something that’s often overlooked is just how important it is to find the right counsellor for you.
At Hummingbird Counselling in Cheshunt, I believe that finding someone you feel truly comfortable with is the foundation for real healing and lasting change.
The relationship really matters
When it comes to mental health support in Cheshunt and the surrounding areas, so much of the success of counselling comes down to the relationship you build with your therapist. You need someone who feels safe, someone you can trust enough to share the things you might not have said out loud before. At Hummingbird Counselling, I work hard to create a space where you can be yourself — no masks, no pressure — just you, being met with understanding and compassion.
There’s no one-size-fits-all
Everyone’s journey with therapy is unique. Every person who comes through my door is different, and that’s exactly how it should be. What works for one person might not feel right for another. I take the time to listen carefully, to really get a sense of who you are and what you need, so we can find a way forward together that feels right for you.
Trust builds safety
Opening up about painful or confusing experiences isn’t easy. It takes courage, and it takes trust. Whether you're seeking help for anxiety, depression, trauma, or general emotional wellbeing, you deserve to work with a therapist who makes you feel safe and heard. That’s why I focus on building a genuine, honest relationship with you — one where you never have to worry about being judged, rushed, or misunderstood.
You deserve to feel heard
Your voice matters. If something isn’t working, we talk about it. If something’s important to you, it’s important to me too. Counselling at Hummingbird Counselling in Cheshunt is a partnership — you bring your life experience, and I bring my professional skills and compassion. Together, we find a way forward. You’re never alone in this.
It’s about investing in yourself
Choosing the right counsellor isn’t just about getting help — it’s about giving yourself the best chance to heal, grow, and thrive. Whether you’re taking the first steps towards mental health support or looking to reconnect with your strengths, you deserve someone who sees your potential and honours your story.
