What a counsellor does

THE COUNSELLING SERVICE IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

The counsellor’s role is to help you gain a greater understanding and awareness of yourself and the problems you have to face. A counsellor will not tell you what to do, but will encourage you to develop confidence in your own ability to help yourself.

Counselling involves meeting weekly to talk about sometimes difficult or personal issues to help us find better ways of dealing with them. For this reason trust, confidentiality and a safe environment are all part of the service.
