What is counselling?

Counselling is a talking therapy. It is a process where someone goes to talk to a trained professional to help with emotional issues. There are different forms of Counselling and depending on needs or suitability there will usually be a form of counselling which will fit your needs.

How does it work?

After making a self-referral (via email – please see the link below) one of the counselling team will be in contact with you to arrange a counselling assessment. Once you have been assessed you will be placed with one of our counsellors. All counsellors are qualified.

Once assigned a counsellor you will meet weekly for fifty minutes. Weekly is best as it allows time to process the previous session, sometimes a lot can happen in a session and space between each session allows for the client to absorb and to think. The amount of session you need will depend on what you are bringing to counselling.

Things that you need to know:

All counselling is confidential. Our counsellors are DBS advanced checked, insured and are members of a counselling organisation such as the B.A.C.P (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), NCS (National Counselling Society) and ACC (Association of Christian Counsellors) and others.
