Counselling in Teignmouth

Old or young, man or woman, everyone can benefit from counselling.

Counselling is for everyone

None of us can manage all the problems of life alone. Sometimes we need help. Often we reach out to family members, friends or colleagues for support, but there are times when this seems impossible. Perhaps the things we need to speak about are too difficult, too hurtful or just too private to talk about with those who share our lives. At these times getting help from a professional, someone outside our lives, can be invaluable.

People attend counselling for an endless list of reasons. Each person’s needs and troubles are different, but what you will find in counselling is a safe, supportive and confidential space to air them.

What is counselling?

Counselling is an opportunity to talk (in confidence) with a trained professional about your life, thoughts and feelings. The counsellor’s role is not to judge or advise but to guide and support you in an exploration of your own experiences.

Whether you come to counselling for help with the emotional wear and tear of everyday life or because of profound distress, the counsellor’s work is the same. It is to offer empathy, compassion and hope as you work together to transform your difficulties into understanding and positive change.

How often might I come?

Usually counselling sessions are weekly and last around an hour. Typically clients attend counselling for between six to twelve weeks, however each client’s needs are different and many people find they need longer term therapeutic support.
