Wellbeing
We never judge you. We understand that for many women it’s difficult to make the first contact so we want to reassure you that we will work with you, listening to you and understanding your individual needs, so that we know how best to meet them and give you the best possible service.
1 to 1
We are here for you:
- if you are over 18
- if English is not your first language
- if you have additional needs or feel excluded because of a disability or discriminated against because of your race, sexual orientation, religion, lifestyle or any difference that has led you feeling isolated or unheard, including sex working or having a history of offending.
We can offer 1-1 support, taking into account your needs and how you wish to be supported.
Counselling & Psychotherapy Services
Once you have registered with us, you’ll be invited to attend an initial assessment. This means that you’ll be asked to tell us about what problems you are dealing with and start to look at how we can help you. The confidential assessment will be undertaken by a qualified and supportive member of our team.
We’ll then help you to create a support plan, so that you understand what to expect and exactly how we’ll be supporting you.
The support team will work with any issues such as housing advice, relationships, domestic abuse, criminal justice and offending, mental health, personal development, support at meetings and advocacy.
You may decide to access our Counselling & Psychotherapy Services.
We offer a range of different therapeutic options such as person-centred counselling, transactional analysis, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), integrative therapy and art psychotherapy.
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counselling & Psychotherapy offers you a safe and private space to explore the difficulties you are experiencing in your everyday life, whether these stem for your early childhood experiences or stressors you are experiencing in the here and now.
It’s an opportunity for you to explore some of the challenges you are facing and identify the changes that you would like to make. Counsellors and psychotherapists won’t offer you advice but will support you to find alternative coping strategies and different ways of thinking.
The team is made up of qualified and trainee therapists and counsellors, all of whom come from a wide range of backgrounds. We have a strict recruitment process that all of our therapists must go through to ensure that we are able to deliver a quality service.
Complementary Therapies
The Centre offers 30 minute ‘taster’ sessions including:
Massage: This is a body treatment (back) where a variety of different types of massage movements are performed as you are lying down on a couch. Massage can be given with or without aromatherapy oils.
Facial: A wonderful and relaxing half hour facial that will leave you feeling fresh faced and relaxed.
Reflexology: is massage of the feet that aims to promote wellness in other areas of the body. It is based on the principle that the foot has ‘reflex’ points that correspond to the various structures and organs throughout the body.
