Clarity Counselling

Counselling is designed to give you an opportunity, in a SAFE, SUPPORTIVE and CONFIDENTIAL environment, the space and freedom to EXPLORE, UNDERSTAND and CLARIFY all types of emotional or life issues.

Clarity’s counsellors are highly trained and experienced. They will give you time to be HEARD in an ACCEPTING and NON-JUDGEMENTAL way. The relationship developed is based on TRUST and SAFETY, which will enable you to:

Gain a sense of personal control or ‘empowerment’

Have a greater self understanding and clarity

Live in a more satisfying and resourceful way

Have a greater sense of well being
And to maintain these life changes over the long term.

Counselling differs from Psychotherapy in three key ways:
1. Counselling may be more appropriate for support in times of immediate need, such as:

Bereavement, Grief and Loss

Relationship issues

Life Adjustment problems, such as poor health

Mild to moderate stress, worry or mood problems

Work and family issues

Helping you to gain problem solving skills in life
2. Counselling is generally shorter term and focuses on personal support, symptom relief and problem solving.
3. Counselling is not usually as beneficial as Psychotherapy for longer term severe or enduring emotional or psychological problems. Psychotherapy goes on beyond counselling to address and deal with deeper needs.

At Clarity, our philosophy for counselling has three key elements:

Personal support is provided through the working relationship

Developmental support is given through helpful information and ideas

Problem solving support is provided by building your personal
skills,knowledge, strategies and coping techniques

Clarity’s counsellors provide personal, individual support, helpful information and the skills to enable you to gain the insight, awareness and strength needed to deal more effectively with your personal issues. Fees for Counselling Services are £57.50 including VAT per session. Lower fees may be available for those currently not in work or in full time education.
