wherever you are in life
Counselling can be for everyone. It’s a place where you can talk freely and openly about whatever is bothering you with someone who’s interested, thoughtful and qualified to help.
All the counsellors in our Collective are experienced, self-employed, independent practitioners. We are trained to work with people experiencing a variety of emotional and psychological issues including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, sleep problems and sexual difficulties.
But you don’t need a mental ill-health diagnosis or label to benefit from counselling. It’s also a space to explore a wide range of questions and concerns, ranging from issues around your personal or family relationships to questions about the direction of your career. It can be a place to share and discuss feelings of lack of focus or satisfaction in your life, confusion about what it all means, or worries about your past or future. Counselling can help you address whatever difficulties in living you may be experiencing.
You won’t be judged, put under pressure or confused by complicated jargon. We won’t label you or tell you what to do. Instead, each of us works collaboratively with you to help you untangle your thoughts and feelings in your own way and at your own pace.
You can work towards understanding yourself more fully, making sense of your emotions and experiences, and accepting yourself. Counselling isn’t a quick fix. But it is a powerful process which can help you to make lasting change in your life.
The counselling relationship is key to the success of therapy, so it’s important that you feel comfortable with your counsellor. We each have a wide range of counselling experience and professional interests, and will work with you to build a genuine, accepting and positive relationship in which you can feel safe enough to explore whatever is troubling you, no matter how difficult, challenging or complicated it may seem.
