Self-trust is often talked about as confidence, as being decisive or sure of yourself. But for many people, trusting themselves doesn’t feel that simple. Somewhere along the way, listening to their own voice became complicated.

Starting counselling often comes with a lot of questions — many of which people don’t always know how to ask. How often should I come? What is this supposed to look like? Am I doing this “right”?

Whether we’re aware of it or not, our nervous system is constantly shaping how we move through the world. It guides our energy, our emotions, our sense of safety, and our ability to connect with others.

Choosing a counsellor can feel a bit like choosing a hiking trail: there are many good options, but the “right” one depends on where you are, what you’re carrying, and the kind of support you need along the way.
