ABOUT

At Fresh Start Counselling we have a flexible approach to counselling, as we understand that not everyone is the same. We will work together to come up with an individual care plan that works for each person.

We believe that our clients have the desire and the capability to grow towards fulfilling their true potential, and that they are the experts of their own lives, therefore we will not give advice or offer a solution, but we will work with you to help you have a better understanding towards yourself. With greater self-awareness and trust in yourself, we hope that you will be able to make constructive changes, leading to a more satisfying and meaningful life.

We offer services for such as

Managing stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental and emotional problems
Substance misuse and other addictions
Sexual abuse
Domestic violence
Eating disorders
Social and emotional difficulties related to disability and illness
The death of a loved one
The opportunity to discuss your concerns
