Private Counselling
As well as our charitable service we have additional sessions set aside for those people who can afford to pay the full cost of their counselling. Currently we have daytime and evening sessions available.
In our private counselling service we offer a choice of telephone, online or face to face counselling.
When paying full fee for your counselling there is no requirement for you to live in our North Herts catchment area.
The fees are £63 per session before 5pm, £68 per session from 5pm onwards).
Why Counselling?
People seek counselling for many reasons. Some may be upset by what is happening in their lives now, or be troubled by the past. Others may feel anxious, confused or depressed for a reason that may or may not be obvious, and unable to see the way ahead. Counselling gives you space and time to pay attention to these feelings, and work through them to enable you to live in a more satisfying and resourceful way.
A counsellor will try and support you in this process by listening attentively and without judgement. Together you may identify connections or patterns of which you had been unaware, enabling you to think about your options and make informed choices.
A skilled counsellor can help you to work through your personal difficulties to find solutions without giving advice, and will enable you to find more easily the ways to manage your life.
