WHAT IS COUNSELLING?

Counselling provides the opportunity to share problems and emotional pain with someone who is understanding, impartial and trained to listen. It may involve exploring past and present feelings and relationships.

Counselling is confidential and provides a place in which people are encouraged to find their own answers to personal problems, it is not about the giving of advice.

Counsellors are professionally trained and supervised. Counselling takes place in Shrewsbury, Telford, Ludlow and Oswestry, in Shropshire . Counselling sessions last 50 minutes and take place weekly. The commitment may be for an agreed time-limited period or “open-ended”.  

Confide is also able to enter into contracts with organisations to provide counselling – please ask for details.
