How can counselling help you?
Counselling for adults can help you explore and work through many different issues such as relationships issues, bereavement, problems at work or college, stress, anxiety, depression, coping with traumatic experiences, abuse, bullying, sexual problems, addictions, managing emotional or physical pain, loneliness & isolation, confidence problems and many more. It is a process where you (the client) can talk in confidence about issues that are concerning you, with the skilled attention of a counsellor, in a safe supportive environment.
We offer short and longer term one to one counselling which is available on a sliding scale of fees, depending on affordability. Please contact us to book an initial appointment.
Counselling for children & young people
We aim to help children and young people achieve in their lives, gain a greater sense of well-being and to work through personal difficulties that may be holding them back.
Our skilled therapists can work with the child or young person individually or provide therapy for the family.
