Individuals or couples are supported to explore and clarify personal issues and difficulties and to make / manage any changes in their lives. Counselling is confidential and non-judgemental, enabling people to raise matters of intimate, personal concern in complete safety. Counsellors encourage clients to develop an understanding of their problems and create their own choices regarding further action. They do not tell or advise clients what do to. Counselling can last for a few sessions or can be longer, depending on the individual / couple’s needs and circumstances.
