Counselling
at MEADOWS WELLBEING
A Safe Place To Talk
Almost everyone, at some stage of their life, will need someone to talk to about their feelings and emotions.
Modern day life and the associated pressures – like work, relationships, social media, money worries – can all mount up and cause us anxiety and distress.
As part of our complementary and alternative therapy offering, we are extremely proud to be able to offer an expert counselling service – for everyone.
Your mental health is paramount to your overall wellbeing, and as such we treat it as a priority.
The Meadows Wellbeing philosophy is that we should all try to look after our mental health in the same way as our physical health.
So here at our health centre you will find a safe, supportive, private and relaxing space to talk openly about your thoughts and find strategies to cope and manage any anxiety or distress.

What To Expect From Your Counselling Sessions
In the first instance, we believe that the best place to start is to address the issues that have brought someone to counselling in the first place.
What you talk about may vary depending on your personal experience, but could range from issues with your relationships, your childhood, emotions or even situations you find difficult.
Your counselling sessions will provide a safe and supportive place for you to explore and discuss strategies to enable you to deal with and manage the issues that are causing anxiety or distress.
Each session will last 50 minutes and preferably be weekly and at the same time each week.
Your therapy can be short or long term, whichever suits your needs. It can be hard to know what to expect, so we offer a free initial telephone consultation to discuss what you are looking for and whether you feel comfortable to embark on this journey together with your counsellor.
