Seeds and Counselling
What’s in a name
Aside from my surname being Seed, and a love of nature, I chose the name Seed counselling because a seed is such a wonderful metaphor for so much of what can happen in the counselling process.
Seeds have traditionally been viewed as a representation for life's potential, for hope. Just as a seed will grow, sprout and eventually bloom given the right conditions, such as good soil and plenty of water, you too can develop to your fullest potential with the right circumstances.
Counselling can offer the right environment for you to feel safe, to feel heard, understood and truly listened to. This can enable you to connect with your true self and emerge from the dark to break through into the light, and bloom.
What does a happy and fulfilled life look like to you?
I invite you to think about what conditions in your life right now are preventing you from living a happy and fulfilled life?
If a seed is hope, then the resulting flower is joy! Just as a seed sheds it skin to grow, you too can shed the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are holding you back or causing distress. Counselling can help you learn and use appropriate tools to make this happen.
