Counselling is sometimes called a 'talking therapy'. A counsellor aims to provide you with a safe, independent and confidential space in which you can talk about your concerns, feel listened to, respected, understood and not feel judged.
People of all ages and walks of life seek counselling and find it can help them to cope or to deal with difficult emotions or situations. Carers may have particular concerns or difficulties associated with their caring role and our counselling team are skilled in working with carers to maintain their health and wellbeing while addressing these difficulties.
We offer both in person appointments as well as sessions held via telephone or video calls. (e.g. Zoom).
Please contact Helen, counselling@kingstoncarers.org.uk for further information, or to help with any questions you may have.
The counselling sessions (...) were not always easy, but always useful. I and my family continue to feel the benefit of having the help.
