Counselling
We can at times in our lives experience emotional distress that is triggered by a personal or family crisis.
While some people have the personal resources and support of others to get through their problems and difficulties, other choose to get help from a qualified professional counsellor.
Our Counsellors
Our Counsellors

Our Services
Adult Counselling
We provide face-to-face counselling for adults (18+ with no upper age limit)
Adult sessions are provided at our Centre in Holywood, however we also offer counselling at venues in Bangor, Kircubbin, Newtownards and Comber if travelling to Holywood is not possible for you.
Youth Counselling
We also provide counselling for young people age 13-18 in partnership with other youth counselling agencies, (RelateTEEN NI, The Big House, UHub and The Net Youth Project.)
Confidentiality
We aim to offer the highest possible standards with regard to counselling confidentiality. What you talk about to your counsellor is kept in confidence and this is an essential aspect of building trust in the counselling relationship.
However, there are occasions when counselling confidentiality may have to be overridden because of risk to you or others and to uphold Children and Vulnerable Adult protection laws. There are also times when legal requirements require counselling services to disclose information.
