Changes facilitated by counselling include: change in perspective, new insight, new ways of thinking about situations, new awareness of feelings, enhanced capacity to tolerate and regulate feelings, new actions or behaviours, and new decisions about life. Our counsellors are always fully present with their clients, using empathy and deep listening to establish positive working relationships. Counselling and psychotherapy is effective when clients feel safe, understood, respected, and accepted without judgement.

Professional counselling is a safe and confidential collaboration between qualified counsellors and clients to promote mental health and wellbeing, enhance self-understanding, and resolve identified concerns. Clients are active participants in the counselling process at every stage. Counsellors are fully present with their clients, using empathy and deep listening to establish positive working relationships. Counselling is a profession with a strong evidence base. Counsellors use empirically supported interventions and specialised interpersonal skills to facilitate change and empower clients.
