3 Counselling and sychotherapy Services Consider for a moment what it is like when you are having a difficult time, or have a particular problem - would it be useful to talk it through? We provide professional counselling by people trained to understand these difficulties. Sessions are given at a pace that suits you - with the intention of enabling you to meet life s challenges more effectively. What is counselling? Counselling is not the same as giving advice. Rather, a counsellor seeks to help you to focus on and understand more clearly the issues that concern you. By respecting your own values, choices and lifestyle, the counsellor can work together with you towards making choices or changes that are right for you. Counselling sessions take place in a comfortable, private setting and usually last for 50 minutes. Counselling is given at a pace that is suitable for you. Following your first visit we can decide together how many sessions you may need. Most personal problems can be helped through counselling, including anxiety, stress, depression, family and/or relationship difficulties, sexual problems or identity issues. It can also involve adjusting to a new culture or dealing with dilemmas or difficult decisions, as well as more specific problems such as addictions or eating problems. This list is by no means complete. If you have any questions regarding a particular problem, please contact us on
