Adult Counselling

Counselling is a form of talking therapy, all our qualified therapists are experienced counsellors. 

They will encourage you to talk about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and provide you with a therapeutic and safe place to speak in a  non-judgemental environment.

They will also help you make sense of things and understand yourself better by equipping you to resolve complicated feelings or find ways to live with them. Also, to recognise unhelpful thinking or behaviour patterns and help you find ways to change them.

Counselling helps you manage and cope with stressful life events, such as bereavement, relationship issues or losing your job, as well as difficult emotions, such as guilt, sadness, confusion, anger, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and long-term physical health problems.

Some people think therapy is an extreme option, and that unless things are badly wrong, you should try to manage on your own. But this isn't true.

Counselling is appropriate at any point in your life, whatever the situation. Counselling is beneficial when you're not at crisis point, as things are more comfortable to reflect upon at this stage and help prevent things from getting worse.

A good therapeutic relationship is crucial to the success of your therapy, so if you don't like or trust your counsellor, you're less likely to feel able to open up and have a positive experience. We aim to build a rapport with you, but please let us know if the therapeutic 'fit' isn't right for you.

Counselling isn't a quick fix, so it might take some time to see whether it's helping or not, and we will regularly check-in and review the process with you. 

Each session will last around 1 hour.

Cost: £50 per face-to-face session or  £45 per online Zoom session
