| Face-to-face Counselling |
We are happy to have an initial consultation with anyone who
is committed to working through their problems with us. We counsel people with
a range of relationship and personal problems including:
difficult relationships, coping with divorce, pre-marriage problems, sexual difficulties, abuse (mental, physical, sexual, spiritual), living with difficult relations (including parents and children), assertiveness, stress, loss, grief, redundancy, depression, difficult decision making, pastoral problems, addictions, anger, aggression, conflict, infertility, sexuality, self-image, eating disorders, obsessions (OCD), personality disorders, dependency, avoidance, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We offer a variety of counselling approaches but are committed to starting where the clients are and to working in a way which they feel comfortable with. Broadly speaking we adopt person-centred and cognitive approaches. Most of our clients come once a week or once a fortnight. Some come for between four and ten sessions; others come for a much longer period. You are in control. You attend the number of counselling sessions that seems best for you.

| Couple Therapy | When relationships become boring or difficult it is sometimes tempting to ignore the problem or to walk away. Some couples want to try to face the issues and attempt to resolve them. People come for couple counselling for a range of issues such as repetitive arguments, feelings of distance or emptiness in the relationship, pervasive feelings of anger, resentment and or dissatisfaction or lack of interest in affection or in a physical relationship with one another. Couples that come for therapy usually find that they are able to benefit from coming together and working with a professional to help them begin to do things differently and to gain insights into what is happening between them. |
