We offer a professional and affordable counselling service. Our counselling team comprises of student, pre-accredited and accredited therapists. If you feel you need to talk to our counsellors, please contact Wendy – detail below

Each year we work with a number of trainee counsellors / psychotherapists, and we welcome applications for placements within our service. Students have the opportunity to work towards their qualification in a supportive, professional service.

All families experience challenges at some point in their journey. These can range from typical parenting issues like establishing routines and fostering positive behaviour to more complex problems like relationship breakdown or family conflict. We meet parents/carers to discuss their family’s needs and provide tailored and agreed supports in response. These can range from one-off consultations and short-term coaching/mentoring programmes to more in-depth and intensive work.

We believe that collaborating with other professionals and agencies can help to ensure that families receive the most appropriate care and support. We offer families the opportunity to engage in Meitheal, an inter-agency process in which any relevant professionals come together with a family to help meet their needs.

We understand that Parenting is both the most rewarding and often the most challenging of jobs! Parents/Guardians encounter all sorts of problems and at times it can feel lonely or overwhelming. Both Wendy and Karin have many years of experience in working with parents to build their confidence and respond effectively to challenges. We are passionate about supporting parents in their most important role. We offer both one to one and group parenting supports so please do get in touch to discuss your needs.

We regularly deliver Parents Plus Parenting Programmes. These are evidence-based programmes, proven to have effective outcomes for families. They focus on what parents are already doing well and on building positive relationships within families. In addition, we offer workshops on topics that support parents in their role.
