Introduction to Individual Counselling Services

This post covers our individual counselling services, which are part of the range of services we offer. So, what does individual counselling include?
It covers both non-relational problems and relational issues. People can come to us to talk about problems they have within their own relationships, although this isn’t always part of couples therapy.

What is Individual Counselling?

Individual counselling mainly focuses on emotional and psychological needs. It’s there to help people with things like low mood, anxiety, grief and loss, stress, burnout, and similar issues. These are the main topics we usually work on in individual sessions.

Why Choose Individual Counselling?

Getting individual counselling can help you in many ways. It teaches you how to work through your difficulties and find ways to improve your mental health. It can be especially helpful if you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Counselling can support you in understanding your thoughts and feelings better and help create strategies to deal with day-to-day stresses. It’s also a safe space to explore things you might find difficult to talk about with family or friends.

Big life changes, such as retirement, redundancy, or moving to a new city, can be very stressful. Sometimes, life simply throws unexpected challenges your way, and individual counselling can provide the support you need during these times.

How Can Individual Counselling Help?

Counselling helps you build resilience, which means becoming stronger and more able to handle future difficulties. During sessions, we often look at the support networks around you—family, friends, or community resources—that can help you. Having strong support systems can make a big difference in how you cope with challenges and improve your overall well-being.

Most clients who seek individual therapy find that they start to feel better emotionally. They often report increased confidence, better sleep, and a greater ability to handle stress. Many also notice that they become more aware of self-care practices, which helps maintain their mental health long-term.

What to Expect in a Session

We offer sessions lasting 50 or 80 minutes. Because we work entirely online, scheduling is very flexible. You can choose a time that fits into your day without having to travel to an office.

Booking is simple—just log into our online system and choose a time that suits you. You can also pick a preferred therapist if you wish, making the process even easier. We aim to make sure you feel comfortable and supported from the very first session.

During your sessions, we will listen carefully to what you want to work on. You don’t have to worry about being judged—our goal is to create a safe, confidential space where you can openly share your thoughts and feelings. Whether you want to work on specific issues or just need someone to listen, we’re here to help you on your journey towards better mental health.
