All the counsellors are trained in the Person Centred approach to counselling which is based on the work of Carl Rogers. They will be happy to discuss this with you so that you can decide whether you feel it would be helpful to you. Counselling is aimed at helping people to develop their own solutions to problems rather than imposing or offering solutions or expert opinions. Your counsellor will work with you by listening, prompting and helping you to clarify the difficulties you are facing and the options you have.
Counsellors aim to be non judgmental.
You may ask to see a male or female counsellor. Different people experience the same situation in very different ways, so no matter how huge or how trivial your problem may seem, if it is causing you concern your counsellor will try to help. Sometimes counselling is not the most appropriate kind of help, or it may just not suit you. Our strict policy on confidentiality means that referral would usually only be made at your request. This depends on you, your counsellor and the concerns you bring.
