Personal Counselling

People use counselling to receive one-on-one support for a range of issues and to help find solutions to their own challenges.

Counselling can offer an opportunity for you to explore and possibly change, various aspects of your life in a non-judgmental environment.

Counselling can help you to:

Address specific issues in life
Improve self confidence
Manage anxiety
Expand communication
Deal with differences and conflict
Cope with separation and losses
Overcome trauma and life challenges
Repair or strengthen your relationships
Prepare for new relationships.

Our specialist counsellors are friendly, non-judgmental and supportive. We are also specially trained to respond to the below issues.
