Client Feedback:

'The kindness, sensitivity and support shown to me during counselling helped me process painful issues that had held me back for years. I felt held within a safe environment, which enabled me to move from feeling 'stuck' and fearful, into confidence, improved self-awareness, and an ability to form deeper, more meaningful relationships. I regard these sessions as a major turning point in my life'          -Life&Soul Client

FAQ...   Is your service religiously focused?

Our counselling offices are based within The Point, which is a community hub run by Queens Park Baptist Church. Its purpose is to be used for the benefit of the local community e.g. as a venue hire for training courses, toddler groups, financial advice, ESOL cafe etc. Life&Soul Counselling is part of this Hub, and like the other services offered here, welcomes individuals of all faiths and none. 

The counselling process itself does not include reference to faith of any type, unless of course it's something you bring up yourself and want to talk about. Our sessions are always client-led, which means that we help our clients explore whatever subjects they choose to bring to each session. As with any professional counselling service, personal opinions or beliefs of the counsellors are not brought into the sessions. It's all about you!
