Help through Counselling and Psychotherapy
We provide a professional and confidential service for people who feel that talking with a counsellor may help them manage difficult times in their lives. The first stage is assessment, the second is meeting a counsellor who has the right skills to help.

People come to counselling for different reasons. Our feedback questionnaires ask people in what areas of their lives they feel counselling has helped. Below you see the percentage of people who found their coping mechanisms improved and the areas where this happened. Where counselling was not seen to be of help, this area may not have been an issue for the person. You also see how people felt they had developed in other ways
