Hunts Mind Counselling Service
“Counselling changed my life. It made me see things differently.”— A service user
This low cost service is offering time-limited counselling of up to 12 sessions and is available to anyone who feels they could benefit from engaging with the service.
What is counselling?
Counselling can sometimes be helpful in clarifying our problems and challenges, sort out changes we would like to make and gain fresh perspectives so that we can consider the consequences of various options and acknowledge the impact of life events on our emotional well being.
Counselling is a specific arrangement between you and your counsellor. It will be confidential except in exceptional circumstances. Counselling is not about making judgements.
The counsellors
Hunts Mind Volunteer Counsellors are either qualified or counsellors in their last years of training. They must be completing a recognised Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling or Psychotherapy. All counsellors who work for Hunts Mind are in supervision with the Hunts Mind supervisor. This ensures all work is safe and appropriate. The counsellor’s role is to facilitate your work in ways that respect your values, personal resources and capacity for choice within your own cultural context.
Your counsellor will:
- Listen
- Enable you to express your feelings
- Help you to explore and understand your difficulties
- Help you to find ways to try and manage your concerns
Counselling Fees
The fee that a client pays to receive counselling from Hunts Mind will range from £5 to £30 per session. The sessions will run for twelve weeks unless the client’s wishes to terminate earlier. No client will be refused counselling due to inability to pay.
If you are interested in counselling, please contact: Donna Best , Counselling Administrator at Hunts Mind.
