"I felt to embarrassed and ashamed to talk to my friends about this, they wouldn’t understand, plus I felt it was nobody’s business but my own. But I had nobody to talk to who I felt was on my side and who would listen to me. I’m not sure if I would have had the courage to have the labiaplasty if I had not had had the counselling sessions. I am now confident and can get on with life and do normal things – like getting changed and showering at the gym and being intimate without a feeling of dread. Thank you so much for being there for me through this"
Our Resident Counsellor says:
‘’Therapy provides a safe and confidential space for you to talk to a trained professional about your issues and concerns. As your therapist, I will help you explore your feelings so you can develop a better understanding of yourself, your needs and your patterns of behaviour. Together we can evaluate these so that you can identify any changes that you might like to work towards within yourself.
As a fully trained and certified therapist, I will not give you my opinions or advice or prescribe medication. I will work with you to build a relationship of trust where you have a safe space to find your own solutions – whether that’s making effective changes in your life or finding ways of coping with your problems.
When you process your feelings about yourself by trusting another human being and having a conversation you have a place for those feelings to go, letting them out can lessen their power and impact on you so and give you greater clarity so that you can make the right decision about other areas of your life, including having surgery.’’
