The Unmasked Counselling Service aims to provide an affordable counselling service for local residents. 

What does counselling offer and who is it for?

Counselling is a form of ‘talking therapy’. It is a process where an individual meets with a trained professional to talk about any issues and problems that they might be facing in their lives. Professional counselling is confidential and non-judgmental.

Unmasked Counselling offers a confidential space where you can talk about the things, big or small, that could be impacting your life. You will be listened to and understood; whatever you need to talk about,  Sometimes resolving the smallest of issues can be key to achieving your ultimate goals…

Our counselling and psychotherapy is available to people who might be dissatisfied with how they currently feel and who want to talk things through and gain insight, awareness and understanding of how to make positive choices and feel good about themselves and life around them.

Counselling can help if:-

• You are feeling stuck and not sure what to do.
• You have recently been bereaved, or experienced a loss of some kind.
• A past event is niggling away at you.
• You are feeling stressed or anxious.
• You have poor self-image, low self-esteem, or are lacking in confidence.
• You want to make significant life changes.
• You are using alcohol or drugs to self-medicate and make those unpleasant feelings go away.
• You have been diagnosed with depression.
• You have a sense of loss of direction.
• A relationship feels unfulfilling.
• You are going through a divorce or separation.
• You feel unsettled, or uncertain about your sexual identity.

Please note that the Unmasked Counselling Service is for adults, i.e. over 18 years of age, only.
