People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons, relationship breakdown, bereavement, anxiety, depression, trauma, sexuality, irrational thoughts, to name a few. Sometimes, you might find yourself with a mind fall of noise and confusion, with a feeling of uncertainty, and no way of understanding all the thoughts at once. The mind can be a scary place, especially when society, family, and friends might be telling you who you should be, how you should look, and what you must feel. However, with a little support from a counsellor, you can be taught the skills and tools, to get you back to your true self, so that your mind is a little less scary. Friends might give you advice, family might do the same, when all you might want is for someone to listen to you. Here at Engage Counselling there is no judgement, no advice, no telling you what to do, instead, you are given a safe space to organise your thoughts, with a qualified and experienced counsellor, that will walk with you on your journey of self-discovery. No issue is ‘silly’, not issue is ‘irrelevant’, if an issue is effecting you to the point of it having a negative impact on your life, then it is relevant. We specialise in person-centred counselling, which is a talking therapy, as well as offer an integrative range of therapies to fit the individual client. We work seven days a week supporting clients, and we do our best to fit in with the clients lives. Services:
In-Person Counselling – An important part of counselling, is the therapeutic relationship between the client, and the counsellor. We believe that this relationship is important for positive therapeutic change, and in-person counselling can help this to happen. This type of counselling will give the client that opportunity to sit with a qualified, and experienced counsellor, in a safe, warm, and calm environment. Together with the client, the counsellor will use their counselling skills, empathy, unconditional positive regard, honesty and no judgement, to support the client to organise their thoughts, and understand what it is they are feeling. Online Counselling - Online counselling is available to anyone that has access to the internet on a computer or smart phone, anywhere in the world. Clients choosing online counselling maybe facing difficulties with mobility, travelling or the pressures of work and family life, which can make it difficult to be able to commit to in-person counselling, therefore, online counselling allows them to access counselling that will fit with them, and their lives. Telephone Counselling: This type of counselling is accessible to anyone that has access to a phone. Telephone counselling enables the client to talk with a qualified, and experienced counsellor over the phone at an agreed time, allowing for ease, privacy, and the ability to happen anywhere.
