Counselling FAQ

Counselling provides a confidential, safe and supportive environment in which you can talk through any issues you may be experiencing.

People access Therapy for all sorts of reasons. It can be they need to talk, to be heard and listened to, without any judgement, or for certain issues or difficulties they may be experiencing in their life, including anxiety, OCD, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, family relationship problems, bereavement and loss, to name just a few.

Sometimes it can be to help clarify any thoughts and feelings you may have, to help you to feel in a more settled place. 

 Sessions last for 50 minutes and usually take place once a week.
