If you feel like you are struggling, or things are becoming overwhelming – we can help. Our qualified, professional and supportive counsellors provide an unbiased and non judgemental ear to listen to your concerns.

Getting Counselling – What do you need?

Counselling as a Family?
Going through tough times as a family? Our qualified and experienced counsellors can work with your family as a whole, or each of you individually. Our aim is to help you sort out the situation, build on your family’s strengths and keep everyone safe.

Counselling for a child?
Worried about your child or their behaviour? Our counselling services are free for children aged up to 18 years. Our qualified and experienced counsellors can help your child learn how to feel better about themselves, become more confident and resilient, manage problems and emotions, build on their strengths and keep themselves safe.

Counselling for you?
It’s OK to ask for help when times are tough! Getting the right help at the right time could turn your life around. Talking things through with one of our qualified and experienced counsellors can help you find the strength and resilience you need to overcome an abusive situation, manage your emotions, feel better about yourself and become more confident.
