how can Listening Ear
help me?


Listening

Listening is not an advisory service but a method of active listening. Trained listeners will allow you to raise all your concerns, allowing you to progress along the road to understanding them.

Reflective listening, coupled with some key questions, has proved to be an extremely effective therapy.

Counselling

The aim of counselling is to help individuals to overcome personal difficulties by exploring, understanding and changing how they see themselves.

The counsellor's role is NOT to advise or take over direction, but to facilitate change by enabling the person to work towards the point where they can confidently move on with their own lives.

Delivered by counsellors trained to Diploma level, counselling covers a wide range of presenting problems within the boundaries of mild to moderate mental health issues.
