Counselling
Brief Intervention Counselling
Brief Intervention Counselling provides short-term support for people who are going through a difficult time or finding things hard to manage.
Sessions focus on helping you feel safe and supported, understand what you are experiencing, and develop practical strategies to help you cope and feel more in control.
This service can be a starting point for your recovery and can help identify whether longer-term support may be helpful.
