Counselling

Counsellors work in a variety of areas which include bereavement, stress and depression.

 

"Mixed anxiety and depression, according to the ONS 2000 survey, is experienced by 9.2 per cent of adults in Britain. This is followed by general anxiety at 4.7 per cent and depression (without the symptoms of anxiety) at 2.8 per cent."
(www.mind.org.uk, 2005)

All our counsellors have a Diploma or MSc in Counselling and are members of the BAC (British Association for Counselling)..
