WHO MAY BENEFIT FROM OUR COUNSELLING SERVICE?

Most of us experience times when life seems too difficult, when we feel under pressure, anxious, depressed, hopeless - or in need of another perspective.
Counselling offers the opportunity to explore thoughts and feelings in a reliable, independent relationship where trust and confidentiality are respected and recognised as essential. It involves becoming aware of past patterns in out lives, looking at the limitations we all experience in ourselves and perhaps taking risks to gain new strength.

Working with a trained counsellor in a safe setting, provided by the Service for this purpose, it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of oneself and so to:

- Resolve some current and past problems

- Regain the capacity to cope

- Develop the freedom to choose and to act in more satisfying ways

- Achieve a more comfortable acceptance of both oneself and others

WHAT NEXT?

Contact us by telephone, or write if you would prefer. You will be offered an initial assessment appointment with one of our counsellors. You will be able to explore and decide whether you think counselling is suitable for you. It also helps us to know if we are the right agency for you. Thereafter, if agreed upon, regular weekly counselling will be made available as soon as possible. There is a standard fee for this initial assessment appointment.
