About our counselling service
Counselling is a type of talking therapy. It allows you to speak about your problems, to help you to discover new ways to cope through our person-centred approach. Some of our counsellors are qualified, others are in training. They will help you talk about your problems, and the difficulties you have experienced, in a safe, supportive and confidential space. Many people find counselling helpful.
How we can help you
Our counselling service is available to anyone over 18. You can receive between 6 to 20 sessions, costing £30+VAT (£36) each.
Counselling can help you with the following:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Anger
- Difficult life experiences
- Panic attacks
- Struggling to cope
- Low self-esteem
- Hearing voices
- Unwanted thoughts
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
We have also helped people who are coping with difficulties such as having to leave home, the end of a relationship, bullying, bereavement and abuse.
Counselling is not about giving you advice or telling you what you should or could do. Your counsellor will try to help you to understand yourself and others, and will work to help you to find your own solutions.
Our counsellors are here during the week, Monday – Friday between 9am – 6pm (except Bank Holidays) and you can access counselling face-to-face, online (via Teams) or on the telephone.
Our counselling service is delivered by trainee counsellors who are undertaking their counselling qualification. We also have some qualified volunteer counsellors. All trainee and qualified volunteer counsellors are supervised by an external counselling supervisor. All trainee counsellors have been assessed with a ‘Fitness to Practice’ certificate by their education provider, to be competent to provide counselling sessions.
