Counselling provides an opportunity to talk about things that are concerning you.
Counsellors are trained to listen without judging and to help individuals process their thoughts and feelings.
Common themes raised include: stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, change, bereavement and loss, dealing with distressing traumatic events.
They can talk about including the things that make people feel angry, sad or helpless. It might be about the past, what is happening now or worries about the future.
Counselling usually takes place weekly and appointments last about 50 minutes. We can offer counselling initially for up to 20 sessions. It is reviewed regularly between counsellor and client.
Counselling takes place at The Junction at a prearranged time, in a private room. Although we will try to find a time to suit you, please be aware that spaces are limited and if your availability is limited, you may have to wait longer to start seeing a counsellor.
Counselling is confidential. The counsellor will not give your name, details or information about you to anyone outside the organisation without your permission and they will not discuss what you tell them unless you ask them to.
However, if the counsellor has reason to believe that you or someone you talked about is in danger or there is a risk to life, they HAVE to tell someone. If this happens they will talk with you about what they plan to do and why.
