Counselling
What is counselling?
- Counselling offers an opportunity for you to talk and try and understand your difficulties.
- Counselling is about finding ways to help you to help yourself.
- Counselling can help you to manage and cope with the problem better, and work towards possible solutions.

It may be something to do with:

- Eating problems
- Self harm
- Lacking confidence/low self-esteem

- Anxiety, panic, phobias
- Loss and bereavement
- Abusive experiences
- Any other issues, big or small.
Confidentiality
Our counsellors work within the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) ethical framework which includes confidentiality. Counselling is confidential, except in certain exceptional circumstances. These circumstances would usually be if you or someone else was at risk of being harmed.
