Counselling service for people over 18
Introduction
What issues can you talk to a counsellor about?
What is available?
Where do I find out more?
Over recent years the Quay Advice Centre has
been providing confidential one-to-one counselling for people over
18 years of age. Many young
people benefit in a therapeutically positive way from having someone
to talk to in confidence, who is willing to listen and accept you
as you are, without judging you.

The sorts of issues
that you can talk with a counsellor about are wide ranging. These
might include, for example:
- Problems
at home, in your relationship, or in your relationships with others.
- Feeling low or depressed, or having feelings of low self-esteem
- Feeling anxious, or unable to cope
- Needing to confide in someone about something that has happened
to you, recently or in the past, or coming to terms
with an event in your life
- Issues relating to physical or sexual abuse
- Issues relating to your sexuality
- Issues related to drugs or alcohol
Whatever you might need to talk
to a counsellor about, we are here for you, and offer a confidential
service. This means that
whatever you discuss with your counsellor will not be shared with
anyone else at the Advice Centre. All counsellors are trained and
experienced in working with clients through the many different
issues and challenges you might be experiencing.
Most importantly, we aim to understand, accept and relate to you
as an individual and unique person, embracing diversity in terms
of gender, ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation etc.
We also uphold the value of equality of opportunity.

Counselling is available on either a shot or
longer-term basis. This is usually up to 6 weekly sessions, or
up to 24, depending
on your needs, and this is explored with you on your first meeting
with your counsellor to work out what might be therapeutic for
you.
