Counselling Psychological Therapies

We provide psychological therapies in a warm, safe and supportive environment to individuals aged 5+. There are times during our lives where we may experience emotional difficulties due to circumstances or events that have occurred recently or in the past. Counselling is an opportunity to work through such issues in a non-judgmental way. All of our practitioners are fully accredited and work in accordance with ethical standards as outlined for example in the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. https://www.bacp.co.uk/events-and-resources/ethics-and-standards/ethical-framework-for-the-counselling-professions/ethics/
