Centre for Better Health - Counselling

Service details

Who are we?

The Centre for Better Health is a community-based charity that supports well-being and recovery from mental ill-health.


What do we do? 

We offer low-cost counselling to help you make sense of difficult experiences, deal with negative thoughts and feelings and make positive changes in your life.

Our counsellors come from a range of therapeutic approaches, but broadly speaking offer therapy under the umbrella of humanistic counselling. This approach focuses on the individual as a whole, encourages people to think about their feelings, and promotes self-development.

We work with issues such as aggression, anxiety, depression, emotional difficulties, loss, low self-esteem, sexuality, stress and trauma.

Sometimes these issues can be triggered or exacerbated by external factors such as money concerns, relationship or work difficulties.

A lot of the work done explores how individuals can resource themselves and learn ways to navigate their thoughts, feelings and interactions with others.
