Counselling

Counselling is a talking therapy that involves a trained therapist listening to you and helping you find ways to deal with emotional issues.

At your appointment, you'll be encouraged to talk about your feelings and emotions with a trained therapist, who'll listen and support you without judging or criticising.

The therapist can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes, and find your own solutions to problems. But they will not usually give advice or tell you what to do.

Counselling can help you cope with a mental health condition, an upsetting physical health condition, a difficult life event, difficult emotions or other issues, such as sexual identity.

Gestalt counselling is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on the whole person. It aims to help people become more aware of themselves, take responsibility for themselves, and improve their relationships. It can help people explore their internal selves and find long-term solutions to complex issues. It can help people alleviate negative feelings like anger, pain, anxiety, and resentment.
