Counselling
Counselling is a talking therapy where a trained professional provides a safe, confidential space to explore personal issues, difficult feelings or life challenges. The aim is to help the individual gain insight, develop coping strategies and find solutions, rather than just be given advice. It involves regular sessions to discuss emotions, relationships, behaviours and past experiences, aiming to enhance well-being and bring about positive change.
The Counselling session provides a confidential, non-judgmental and safe environment to begin the healing journey. You can speak openly about whatever is troubling you, without fear of judgement, to help you find a way forward.
Our Counsellor, Lesley Nicholls, has experience in a wide range of issues and works with both adults and children (11-18 yrs)
Counselling can be helpful in a wide range of issues, including: Anger management, Addiction (including gambling), Anxiety, Loss and Grief, Carer’s issues, Empty Nest Syndrome, Confidence and Low Self-Esteem, Family and Relationship issues, Loneliness, Work-related Stress, ADHD and Autism Support. If you’re looking for brief focused support a Single Therapy Session (SST) can be a valuable option. In one session, we explore your concerns, reflect on what you’ve learned and discuss whether additional support might be beneficial or how to approach similar situations in the future.
Sometimes it’s hard to know if counselling is the right step. Our Counsellor offers a free, no obligation, 20 minute telephone consultation. which gives you the opportunity to discuss what you’re hoping to achieve and determine how best you might work together and move forward.
