  • What is Counselling

    Counselling is a safe space to explore any difficult emotions, your worries, thoughts, anxieties, and feelings of distress and when facing any difficult decisions that you are trying to make sense of and seek some resolution for.  Counselling can also help you gain an understanding of yourself in relation to others and that may then help you to form better relationships.

    Counsellors work with a wide range of issues that impact young people and adults. Below are just some of the difficulties you may want to talk about with your counsellor.

    • Anxiety and panic disorders
    • Health worries
    • Bereavement and loss
    • Bullying and social pressures
    • Low self-esteem or confidence
    • Low mood and depression
    • Relationships
    • Understanding anger
    • Harming behaviours
    • Miscarriage and stillbirth
    • Gender identity
    • Suicidal thoughts
    • Life changes and transitions

    How it works

    If you decide that you would like counselling  email safeguarding@gbmc.ac.uk      to request a self-referral form. Once you have completed and returned your referral form, you will be offered an initial appointment. The initial appointment is an opportunity for us to work together so you and the counsellor can understand more about the current difficulties you are facing as well as your goals for counselling.
