Counselling and Psychotherapy
Our skilled counsellors and psychotherapists will listen to you in a non-judgemental way in a private, confidential setting. They can help you understand your current difficulties, past experiences or anxieties about the future with the aim of helping you improve the quality of your life and relationships.
By listening, the counsellor can begin to perceive the difficulties from your point of view and can help you see things more clearly, possibly from a different perspective. Counselling is a way of enabling choice or change or of reducing confusion.
In the therapy sessions you can explore various aspects of your life and feelings, talking about them freely and openly in a way that rarely possible with friends or family. Bottled up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief and embarrassment can become very intense and counselling offers an opportunity to explore these feelings, with the possibility of making them easier to understand.
