Counselling

We have a wide selection of counselling services available in our Yeovil and Chard Clinics

People seek counselling for a variety of reasons – a long-term problem that doesn’t go away, an immediate crisis, or feelings of emptiness/lack of meaning to life. Giving time and attention to your distress in the company of a listening, empathic, impartial counsellor can lighten the load and allow you space to review your situation, how you live and experience your life.

What can the client expect at the appointment

All our counsellors offer a safe, private space where the client can explore and express their feelings & thoughts without fear of being judged. They will discuss matters with the client and after an initial assessment will suggest a course of action.

What will happen in a counselling session

The client will be encouraged to explore their issues, feelings and thoughts, and to examine options for taking action. They will also be encouraged to think about their decisions in order to try and provide a clearer understanding of situations.

How many sessions should the client need before they see a result

This will depend on the issues being presented.
