Counselling 

Counselling is a talking therapy that involves a trained therapist listening to you and helping you find ways to deal with emotional issues, in a safe and non-judgemental environment that may not be possible with family or friends. We recognise that everyone is different and will experience their feelings in different ways. Counsellors will not give advice or direction, nor will they make decisions for you. However, they can support you in clarifying issues and developing your own insight to help you make sense of things and understand yourself better. 

Counselling can help you manage and copy with many issues such as:

• Depression 
• Anxiety 
• Eating Disorders
• Low self esteem
• Sexual Identity 
• Bereavement
• Relationship Issues
• Work Related Stress

Support is not restricted to the above issues.
