Counselling is a safe, non-judgemental space to explore concerns you may have about distressing emotions, tough relationships or to increase your own self-awareness and growth.
1. Mental health concerns such as feeling down, anxious, or experiencing difficult events.
Counsellors are trained to listen to your story in an empathetic, non-judgemental way. They can help you explore how symptoms of anxiety or feeling down may impact your daily life, help you develop unique coping skills and work towards reducing the impact these symptoms have on your life. A BACP and YouGov survey of more than 5,000 adults found that 92% of people who have attended counselling agree it’s good to access counselling for a problem before it gets worse.
2. Relationship challenges
Counselling can also be helpful for improving relationships with partners, family members, or friends. A counsellor can help clients develop better communication skills, understand patterns of conflict, and work towards building richer and healthier relationships.

3. To gain self-awareness and personal growth
Some people attend counselling simply to gain a better understanding of themselves and their life experiences. A counsellor can help clients identify patterns in their thoughts and behaviours, explore their values and beliefs, and work towards personal growth and self-improvement.
