What is Counselling?

Counselling is a process that begins with talking and listening.

A core feature of the counselling process is providing a safe, respectful and confidential environment. Good counselling is never judgemental. A key outcome is becoming clearer about what you want, about what is important to you.

Why try Counselling?

People tend to seek a conversation with a professional counsellor after they have tried to address the issues bothering them but have had limited success. Often the simple act of sitting down with an interested, focussed counsellor will begin a process of change that can have a real impact. Over the twenty-two years I have been working as a professional counsellor I have regularly heard from clients that they feel benefit from just a few sessions. Comments such as I am not as stressed or I feel lighter are frequent.

It is vital to find a counsellor you feel comfortable with and who is both experienced and trustworthy. On this site you will find information about Bruce Jenkins, a Registered Psychologist with over 25 years counselling experience.
