BREATHING SPACE COUNSELLING SERVICE

Counselling Sessions with a Qualified Counsellor

We all struggle from time to time, so we are pleased to be able to offer sessions with a counsellor to give a little help when life is difficult.

We mostly offer Walk & Talk counselling.  Sessions take place outdoors, whilst walking gently through our beautiful surroundings, and we offer as standard 8 sessions, once a week.  If you are mobile and able to walk well we have use of Witton Gilbert Dene next door to the church.  Here you'll find many different trees and plants, and lots of bird song to accompany you on your walk.  The churchyard is an option for those who may be less mobile, or who like the surroundings.  Please speak to your counsellor if you would like to avoid the church surroundings, we know it is not for everyone and we will do our best to find a suitable walk location for you.

We can also offer some counselling indoors, in the office in the entrance of the church.

If you are in need of this service, please see our FAQ page here, contact us for more information and to request a referral, or ask your GP, social prescriber or care coordinator to refer you.  Alternatively you can self refer using our form here, however please be aware that if a self referral is not suitable for our counsellors we may very occasionally have to decline the referral.  We will only do so if necessary of course.
