Clydesdale Counselling

The aim of counselling is to enable people to work towards living  their lives in a more positive and satisfying way. Our counsellors all  work with the Person-Centred Approach and aim to offer each client deep  acceptance, understanding and a commitment to being in a genuine  relationship.

• Counselling can provide a safe, supportive relationship where feelings can be sensitively explored and shared.
• You will be supported in developing your own resources for coping.
• Our service is confidential.
• The first meeting is an opportunity for you to meet the counsellor  and explore whether counselling is what you need at this particular time  in your life.
• Sessions last about one hour and are usually at weekly intervals,  but you might prefer a shorter or longer time between sessions.

There are times in everyone’s life when we feel overwhelmed by circumstances or feelings. 

Counselling may help when:

• Facing a major crisis or loss.
• Experiencing stress at work or redundancy.
• Having difficulties with relationships.
• Experiencing conflict with a partner, children or parents.
• Living with domestic violence.
• Dealing with serious illness or disability.
• Coping with bereavement.
• Experiencing negative or painful feelings following accident or abuse.
• Feeling lonely, isolated, depressed or frightened.

Sometimes we can benefit from the privacy of talking to a counsellor  who has the time to hear all of our story and can help us come to terms  with how we feel.

Sharing these feelings can often help people towards a better  understanding of themselves and a clearer view of their difficulties and  how they may be faced.
