Who is the counselling for?

We all experience difficulties at times. Those seeking counselling may be Christians or of another or no faith. They may include those who are:

• depressed
• anxious or under stress
• looking for more meaning in life
• lonely and isolated
• worried about children or other family members
• experiencing relationship difficulties
• suffering illness or bereavement
• experiencing employment difficulties
• facing retirement
• suffering or suffered abuse
• struggling with eating disorders

 

How will it help?

The counselling sessions can provide:

• space and time to talk through your situation
• new ways of seeing yourself and where you are in life
• help to identify alternatives to your current situation
• support in moving forward
• ways to cope with unpleasant feelings

Counselling will encourage you and enable you to gain insight into your circumstances and discover how best to move forward.

 

The initial session

There is no charge for the initial assessment which lasts for 50 - 60 minutes. It is an opportunity for you to find out more about counselling and talk about your situation. If you would like to continue with counselling then we will discuss the way forward and arrange future sessions – these are usually weekly. The cost of counselling will also be discussed – concessions are available for those on benefits, or in difficult financial situations.
