Counselling offers a supportive relationship in which you explore any issue at your pace. You are accepted for who you are. It can help you see difficulties more objectively and express your feelings, to help come to terms with new or past experiences. It can be part of a growing process enabling you to change unwanted feelings.

Many people see counselling as an opportunity to undertake personal development in a safe environment and it is not necessary to have a 'problem' to find counselling useful.

What happens?
You are invited to attend an initial one to one, fifty-minute consultation to answer your questions. This is an excellent opportunity to establish how much could be achieved through counselling and see if you can work with your counsellor. It is a chance to explore issues that could affect the relationship between you both as well as explore your personal needs. Time will also be spent outlining the process and techniques used in the counselling.

Counselling clinics are held at New Leaf Counselling and Therapy Centre in Wellington, Somerset.

It is recommended to begin with 10 sessions of counselling. Some people seek a short-term contract with New Leaf while others leave it open-ended.

Everything you discuss is confidential between you and your therapist. There are some legal exceptions and this will be clarified with you prior to your agreeing the contract for working together.

Referrals are received from individuals, GPs, Solicitors, Social Services, Domestic Violence Teams, Courts, Mental Health Services, and Consultant Psychiatrists.
