FAQs

Counselling is a talking therapy that involves speaking to a trained professional about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. There are different types of counselling, psychotherapy and talking therapies, but the main aim for all types of therapy is to:

• Give you an opportunity to talk through problems, make sense of things and increase your own self-awareness, including your own strengths.

• Allow you the time and space, in a safe place, to talk without any judgement.

• Support you to better manage or resolve complicated feelings.

• Enable you to recognise unhelpful patterns in the way you think or act, identify areas you would like to change, and support you with achieving goals.

Clients come to us with wide-ranging problems, including:

• Anxiety including generalised anxiety problems, panic attacks, social anxiety

• Bereavement, grief and loss

• Depression including suicidal thoughts, low mood, social withdrawal

• Low self-esteem and lack of confidence

• Phobias and fears

• Relationship issues including breakups, divorce, life adjustments

• Trauma

• Workplace issues including stress, work-life imbalances

Your Counsellor provides a safe environment where you can explore your issues and will be highly trained in listening and reflecting. With most types of therapy, you are free to discuss what you wish, from everyday events, dilemmas, feelings, and thoughts, to regrets, aspirations, memories and dreams.

Other, shorter-term forms of therapy like solution focused therapy can be more structured, and can provide practical exercises to help you understand your thoughts and actions.
