What is counselling?

Updated: Apr 21, 2020


The term counselling covers a variety of talking therapies that are delivered by trained practitioners with the hope to enhance the wellbeing of those experiencing difficulties. Counselling can take place over a short period of time (usually 6-8 weeks) or for longer periods for those needed additional support. Counselling can consist of one-to-one sessions, couple therapy, family therapy or group therapy.

Why Choose counselling?

Counselling is an effective therapy for those experiencing periods of difficulty in their life. You may have lots of family members and friends in your support network, but feel that you need to talk to somebody outside of your social circle. A counsellor can offer non-judgemental support in an empathic environment that makes it easier to talk about your experiences.

You may be feeling anxious and or depressed or you may feel that you are in a crossroads in your life and need support on which way to turn. Whatever you are feeling at the moment, it is important that you do not feel alone, which is where a counsellor can help.

There are many reasons that people turn to therapy, with the counsellor treating each and every person as an individual.

Person-Centred Counselling

Person-centred therapy is a humanistic approach that views human beings as having an innate tendency to develop towards their full potential. Counsellors will work with you to understand your viewpoint and work to help you reconnect with your inner resources.
