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 25 years the last 13 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
Spring is almost here thank goodness! The constant rain has been hard to tolerate and I for one have struggled to stay motivated.... but March certainly feels brighter and more hopeful to me and with it I'm feeling a sense of lightness and the possibility of change and new growth within aswell as in my garden! Fixed patterns of behaviour embedded through time and linked to context can be very difficult to shift, but with support, reflection and perseverance anything is possible... here is a poem I feel sums it up perfectly:
An Autobiography in five short chapters:
Chapter 1
I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in
I'm lost, I'm helpless
It is my fault
It takes me forever to get out.
Chapter 2
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I pretend not to see it
I fall in again
I can't believe I'm in the same place again!
But it's my fault!
It still takes a long time to get out.
Chapter 3
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I see it is there
I still fall in despite this
My eyes are open, I know where I am
It is my fault
I get out immediately.
Chapter 4
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it.
Chapter 5
I walk down a different street.
