Counselling is a talking therapy where a trained therapist listens and supports you in dealing with emotional issues without judgment. It offers a safe space to explore current or past challenges, helping you feel heard, accepted and valued.

It can support you with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, abuse, bereavement, identity and cultural concerns, addictions, relationship difficulties, work stress, sexuality, phobias, eating disorders and more.

A counsellor listens with empathy and respect, helping you gain insight into your feelings and behaviour. The goal is to bring clarity, reduce confusion, and support personal growth or change.

Confidentiality is a key part of counselling, with a few exceptions related to safety or legal obligations. These will be clearly explained during your first session. Counsellors also regularly discuss their work with a supervisor, who is also bound by confidentiality, to ensure ethical and effective practice.
