What is counselling?
During times of distress, or any particularly difficult period in a person’s life, counselling can help people explore matters which may be causing them concern or anxiety in a confidential environment, without being judged.
What kind of counselling?
At Calsayseat Counselling we offer Person-Centred Therapy. This is based on the belief that we all have the potential to grow and change. The relationship between counsellor and client is of primary importance in order for the client to decide their own way forward
How can it help?
Counselling can help people get a fresh perspective on a particular problem that might be causing distress. It can also help people explore possible solutions or just offer an opportunity to talk confidentially, with someone who is unconnected.
How do I make an appointment?
If you are aged 18 and above, and registered as a patient at Calsayseat Medical Group you can make your initial appointment by phoning our confidential number to leave a message.
We will let you know we’ve received your referral, and add you to our waiting list, giving you an indication of how long it might be before you will receive your initial appointment. At your initial meeting (which lasts around 30-60 minutes) we can discuss:
What has prompted you to seek counselling
The kind of help that matches your need
What we can offer you, as a client
Whether we know of any other more appropriate services
You will then be offered a regular appointment time, on either a Tuesday or Wednesday in-person at the Surgery, or remotely by phone.
What do we offer?
Calsayseat Counselling offers 6 sessions of free counselling, usually delivered as weekly appointments. Each session last approximately one hour.
Who are the counsellors?
All of our counsellors are trained, and supervised by approved counselling supervisors. Calsayseat Counselling operates according to the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions published by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the main body which accredits and monitors the work of “talking therapists” throughout the UK.
