Online Introduction

TRUSTED THERAPY

Counselling (or Psychotherapy) is a professional relationship where clients can explore and understand their lives, tell their story, be listened to, and find respect and acceptance. Over time people can work towards healing emotional pain, distress and trauma. This process helps people to look at themselves in a new way, gain confidence and take charge of their own lives.
