Professional & Confidential Counselling
Looking after our mental health is of vital importance, just as important as looking after our physical health.
We all go through challenging and difficult times in our lives when we need help and support. There are times when we feel there is no one there to listen or to care. We can feel isolated and overwhelmed by our difficulties. It is at times like this that counselling can be of great benefit. Counselling enables us to make positive changes in our thinking, our behaviour and our lives.
Counselling can help with:
- Family & relationship problems
- Anger
- Health problems
- Depression
- Stress
- Identity issues
- Anxiety
- Low self esteem
- Suicidal thoughts
- Panic attacks
- Sexual orientation problems
- Work related issues
- Bereavement
- Abuse
- Drug and alcohol abuse
- Trauma
Or just needing someone to talk to.

Further Information
What is Counselling
Counselling and psychotherapy is a talking therapy that is of great value in helping people who are in distress.
This is a confidential service where you can explore your thoughts and feelings in a supportive and private environment without fear of being judged.
Counselling provides an opportunity for clients to:
- Talk about their problems and current difficulties
- Seek support when they are distressed
- Find meaning in their lives and make changes when they are ready
- Find direction and purpose
Counselling is for anyone who finds they are in a difficult place in their life, and need someone to talk to who is outside of family and friends.
It is now recognised by the medical profession and by our own GPs that counselling and the talking therapies are of great benefit in alleviating issues e.g. stress, depression and anxiety brought on by life crises and difficulties.
Therapy takes place on a one to one basis. Short or long term counselling is available depending on the needs of the client.
