Who is counselling for?
Counselling can be useful for people having problems or difficulties in their relationships, experiencing the pain of bereavement or loss, dealing with the results of some traumatic event, or undergoing emotional stress. Counselling can help men, women and even children, from any background. Here are just a few of the issues that counselling and therapy can help you explore and understand. And understanding can be the key to getting control over whatever it is that is causing problems in your life.

Other options
Counselling is just one form of therapy. Sometimes, people come to therapy to begin with and through exploring their issues it may become apparent that other approaches may be more appropriate. If this is the case I might well discuss those options with you and encourage you to seek help from other, more appropriate sources. Counselling can help you make decisions but a counsellor will not tell you what to do. If you feel that you need this kind of help you might be better off contacting information bureaus, advice agencies, telephone helplines, or support and self-help groups.
Safe and secure
Sessions take place in a comfortable, relaxed environment.
