Counselling is a confidential, safe environment where you can explore your experiences and begin to understand them better, helping you to cope with problems in a positive way.
Counselling IS:
-
Private and confidential
-
Time and space for you
-
Talking over a problem
-
Being listened to & heard
-
Helping you sort out confusing thoughts
-
Helping you work through difficult feelings
-
A chance to be yourself
what’s more - it can sometimes be good fun.
Counselling is NOT:
-
Getting advice
-
Being told what to do
-
Being given all the answers’ by an expert
-
Being judged
-
Like school
-
Like talking to a parent
- As scary as you might think
