01
Anxiety, depression and low mood
You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck or unsure how to move forward. Counselling offers time to explore what is happening for you without judgement or pressure.
How we can help
Support shaped around your experience, not a label.
People come to counselling for many different reasons. These are some of the areas we can support you with, but you do not need to fit into a category or know exactly what to say before getting in touch.
02
Low self-esteem and confidence
A person-centred relationship can help you understand how you see yourself, listen to your own needs and move towards greater self-awareness and confidence.
03
Work-related stress and burnout
Explore the pressure, exhaustion or loss of balance you are experiencing, along with patterns and practical ways of coping that may be helpful.
04
Grief and bereavement
Grief has no single timetable or correct form. Counselling can give you space for sadness, anger, numbness, relief, guilt or feelings that are difficult to name.

Pregnancy loss and miscarriage
Your experience of pregnancy loss is individual. We offer a private place to explore what happened and what it means for you, whether the loss was recent or some time ago.

Emotional support after abortion
If you are experiencing stress or difficult, mixed emotions after an abortion, you can explore them in a confidential and non-judgemental space.
07
Life transitions and personal challenges
Counselling can support you through change and uncertainty, or simply give you room to understand yourself more deeply when something does not feel right.
