What is Counselling? – More about our service

Your counsellor will listen to your problems and sometimes this can help you cope better with some of the issues and try to discover what lies behind what is troubling you. 

Safe and confidential environment

Some people particularly struggle with finding the language to express how they feel. They are uncomfortable talking about what they perceive as failure, and find it hard to know where to turn to when it becomes impossible to ignore disturbing feelings, behaviours and physical symptoms.

Counselling is designed to be a safe environment where you can be as frank as you want to be about what you are facing. Working with a professional counsellor gives you the opportunity to talk, listen and express yourself without being judged.

We don’t share the details of your sessions – or even the fact you are in counselling - with anyone else.
