Counselling

Counselling offers a safe time and space in which to talk, air concerns and reflect. Prompting, in the form of gentle questions, can help people look at issues in new ways and identify options for change. A counsellor is trained to ask the most appropriate questions and provide a non-judgemental environment in which to share and grow.

People come to counselling for all kinds of reasons. These may include: bereavement or divorce, stress at work or school, depression or low self-esteem or simply to find a reliable, confidential sounding board.

Counselling offers support in a number of differing ways. These include:
Clarifying what is important in life
Getting in touch with inner resources
Exploring feelings, thoughts and their meanings
Support during times of crisis
Support during development and transitional periods
Working through old issues that may involve looking at childhood experiences
Reaching a resolution
