Counselling
|
It is generally recognized that mind and body are inseparable. What affects one invariably affects the other. Hence it is equally as important to provide help and support for the emotional aspects of MS as for the physical effects and the symptoms. |

The CounsellorsAlison Tucker has counselled many people with MS. She is currently taking an extended break. Sue Smith is our new counsellor Is counselling for you?You may be needing some help and would find talking to someone in complete confidence of benefit to you. The role of the counsellorThe counsellor’s role is to be very supportive and to encourage you to find your own way forward. Counsellors do not give unwanted advice, spend time talking about themselves or pass judgement on you or others. Individual CounsellingIndividual counselling is an opportunity for you to talk with one of the counsellors and share the concerns and feelings you are experiencing. The counsellor will work with you to help you discover your inner resources. Couples CounsellingCouples counselling is for people wanting help with their relationship. The counsellor will not take sides, but will support you both in finding how you want to relate to each other. Cost?The Centre operates a voluntary contribution scheme. Interested?If you are interested in coming for counselling or would like to have more information, please get in touch with the Therapy Centre to book an appointment. Comments from Members“The conversations with the counsellor have opened my mind to think about other things in my life than MS” “I found that by being able to talk with the counsellor, who was not someone immediately connected with my life, helped me to relax. I was then able to really understand my problems, so I could deal with them myself.” “Most people want you to be strong to cope with MS and counselling gives you the opportunity to express how vulnerable and alone you can feel with it.” "We are so lucky to have subsidised counselling with this Centre, not many places have it and it can be very expensive. I wouldn’t have survived without counselling."“Since the counselling sessions the bad feelings don’t get anywhere near as deep as they used to. Both my wife and I are now far happier in our lives.” “Counselling led us to a new understanding and has moderated the way we act and communicate with each other. It did not just help us at that time but is continuing to help us.”
