About us..
You look after your health with a Doctor, your eyes with an Optician, teeth - a Dentist.
But what about your mental health and wellbeing, the fundamental thing that is 'you'?
We tend to overlook it, and like anything left - it rarely gets better on its own.
It's a subject that can carry a stigma, seldom mentioned, usually ignored, suffered in silence until it can't be ignored any longer. This results in unnecessary suffering and sometimes worse - it's a shameful indictment of our society.
If you don't look after 'you' then who will?
1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem this year - we want to help as many as we can work through them.
We're a Counselling Service dedicated to helping you 'embrace yourself'.
We believe that good mental health and emotional wellbeing is one of the most important facets of modern life and that by addressing problems early - we can help people, young and old find their peace and get on with living, because that's what life is for.

About Counselling..
It's for everyone. We will all encounter times in our lives when things get away from us. Sometimes that will be the result of an event or situation that's happening now or in our past or we might not know why we feel the way we do.
These situations can affect our lives suddenly or can build over time until we find that we can't cope with life as we might have previously. Left unchecked these feelings might affect family, school, work or our health.
Seeking professional help in such circumstances can add perspective and experience to what we're encountering and help us address both the symptoms and the cause to allow us to move forward.
Counsellors will use a variety of techniques in order to facilitate that progression and use their experience to arrive at the most effective route quickly.
Everyone is different, so contact us to discuss what you're experiencing and how we might help.
