Counsellors
Counsellors see people who are experiencing emotional difficulties e.g. feeling depressed or anxious, or who have had distressing life events such as relationship problems or bereavement, which they are finding hard to cope with.
The first appointment with the counsellor allows you to explore together what help you require and how this can best be achieved.
We have counsellors available at the practice on a Thursday and Friday afternoon however appointments are limited. If you feel like you need to access this type of service please make an appointment with one of our GPs or Advanced Nurse Practitioner.
