What is Counselling?

Counselling provides a safe, confidential setting for a person to explore problems or issues that are currently affecting them. Counselling can help in many different ways for example with personal development, decision making, crises and relationship problems.

Who is it for?

Counselling is for everyone and can benefit people in many different ways. TW counselling offers counselling for all ages. We are trained therapists who will help you to explore your thoughts and feelings and empower you to make changes, to live a more fulfilling life.

Anxiety

Is Counselling Confidential?

Yes counselling is confidential. There are only exceptional situations, for example if we feel that you or someone else is at risk, would we need to break confidentiality for safety reasons. If possible, this would be discussed with you and your consent given.

What training have the therapists had?

Our therapists are fully qualified Integrative Counsellors, who have completed training and been awarded a British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) accredited Diploma course. All therapists are in regular supervision with a senior therapist and undertake continuous professional development. The therapists are members of the BACP and work within the Code of Ethics. We are also fully insured.

How many sessions?

We offer short and long term therapy and the number of sessions will depend upon the type of issues brought to counselling. We are happy to discuss this with you in the initial appointment.
