Counselling

Our counselling service provides long term counselling in a safe, confidential space, for an hour every week, for as long as it takes.

Your counsellor will give you the opportunity to work through painful feelings at your own pace which can help in reducing the confusion you may feel about why things are difficult for you.

Your counsellor will neither judge you nor advise you, but will help you to find your own way forward

• Someone who will listen.
• Someone who will understand the difficulties from your point of view and can enable you to see things more clearly
• A space to help you to begin to make changes in your life
