COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY

"When things change inside you, things change around you"

We are pleased to be here to offer our professional Counselling services to you.

Life can be challenging & talking to friends or family is not always enough.

Counselling supports, guides & enables you to make sense of things & move forward with your life.

​

We offer a safe, supportive, confidential & dependable space for you to work through any difficult & challenging circumstances you may be going through.

​

Areas where counselling can help include:

​

  • coping with change or grief.

  • feelings of overwhelm or stress.

  • anxiety and depression.

  • trauma and abuse.

  • developing confidence & self esteem.

  • relationships, workplace or college issues.

  • health worries, menopausal and women's issues.

Talking to a qualified Counsellor can be the help you need to bring about lasting change, leading to a better quality of life.

​

Our Independent Counsellors are experienced, fully qualified and registered to ensure the highest quality of care for our clients.

​

What to expect?

You'll be given the opportunity to talk about your feelings and emotions without being judged or criticised. More importantly, you will be listened to, respected and treated as the unique individual that you are.

​

We are here to help you gain a clearer understanding of your feelings and thought processes to empower you to find your own solutions and way forward.

Counselling for Children,
Teenagers  & Young Adults.
Support for Parents and Carers.

We are pleased to be offering specialist counselling services for children, teenagers, and young adults, with support also available for parents and carers.​​

​

Children and young people may develop difficulties over time for a variety of reasons including childhood experiences, bereavement, illness, patterns of relating to others, trauma and periods of change and uncertainty. Everyone's experiences are unique and I provide compassionate support for individuals with a range of difficulties including:

​

  • Anxiety and worries

  • relationship concerns

  • behaviour choices

  • exam stress 

  • feelings of safety 

  • resilience 

  • confidence and self-esteem

  • and many other concerns.

​

As an Integrative Counsellor, the approach is empathic and person-centred while integrating other theories, such as CBT or Gestalt activities, as required. With younger people, creative elements like play, sand, art or drama may be introduced to help them to engage with the session.

​

Parent and Carer Support

It can be challenging to parent children, at times. I support parents with understanding their child's needs and balancing these with their own needs to find harmony within the family unit. I am genuinely committed to supporting parents to improve their own wellbeing and create meaningful and lasting family relationships.

​

Appointments available with Rebecca Colwill.

Fees: 50 minutes - £60
