Counselling Support
Sometimes, daily life can seem full of challenges. So it's reassuring to know you have somewhere to turn when you need support. Whatever situation you are facing you can call for support from qualified practitioners. Just talking about the problem over the phone can feel like a huge step forward.
The counsellors can assist with a wide range of issues such as stress and anxiety, depression, bereavement or trauma related issues.
If it is appropriate for you, a series of counselling sessions with a named counsellor may be recommended. This can be delivered on a face to face basis or by telephone depending on a variety of factors and your personal preference. You can also access E-Counselling if you would prefer.
