What is Counselling?

Counselling is one of the ‘talking therapies’.

Counselling is based on being listened to and
enabling you to make sense of the difficulties you
may be experiencing. It provides an opportunity
to talk in confidence with a person outside of your
situation.

Counselling allows space for you to explore
thoughts and feelings and, most importantly,
provides time for you to concentrate on your
needs.

It is not about giving advice and does not
necessarily provide quick and easy answers.
