There are situations towards which most of us are consciously or unconsciously attracted. These include having fulfilling relationships, enjoying good health, achieving our potential, coping with the inevitable peaks and troughs of life and being open to experiencing joy, intimacy and love. Counselling and Psychotherapy offer opportunities to explore the way we inhibit fulfillment, our experience of life and our choices.
People enter counselling or psychotherapy for many reasons.
The counselling and psychotherapy service initiates a referral to a team of experienced counsellors and psychotherapists. They are all graduates of the Trust's training programme and subscribe to the Codes of Ethics and Practice of both the British Association for Counselling and the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy. Each counsellor and psychotherapist will offer a confidential setting within which it is safe to share our unique life story, our feelings and fears with someone trained to listen, support and guide in such a way that can enable us to achieve a greater acceptance of ourselves and others and a deeper understanding of the difficulties we face. It can also help us to achieve enhanced self-awareness and fresh insights. All calls are responded to promptly and the referral procedure is confirmed by letter.
