What is Counselling

Counselling is a journey by which people are helped to gain fresh insight to have a different outlook and to find motivation. 

Over a number of one to one confidential and supportive sessions counselling will help you make changes in your life.

Counselling facilities the sharing of thoughts and feelings, empowering people to identify their own answers and to feel more in control of their own life.

Counselling involves acceptance and respect for each individual. This allows the client to be confident that they will not be judged and that a valuable relationship will develop.

The aim of counselling is to encourage people to find their own solutions – it is not about giving advice or instruction.
