The Unmasked Counselling Service aims to provide an affordable counselling service for the residents of Calderdale. 

What does counselling offer and who is it for?

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

Unmasked Counselling Service offers a comfortable and 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, working towards gaining an insight, awareness and understanding of how to make positive choices and to feel good about yourself and life around you.

Whatever you need to talk about, resolving even the smallest of issues can be the key to achieving your ultimate goals.

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 are living with a long-term illness or medical condition.
• You, a family member or close friend has received a terminal diagnosis.
• You are a carer.
• You have experienced trauma, either as a child or adult.
• You have been diagnosed with depression.
• 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 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.
