Confidential counselling service

The Council offers a free, professional, confidential service that provides counselling for all staff.

Sessions can be accessed to give you an opportunity to discuss and resolve issues that may affect your ability to cope.

Increasing pressure in our day to day lives can make us anxious and can lead to an unhealthy build-up of stress.

Sometimes talking to a trained counsellor can help you to gain a new perspective as well as support you through your difficulties.

Counsellors are experienced at working with a variety of issues such as:

• Work related issues:
  • workload
  • new roles
  • relationships with colleagues or managers
• Personal difficulties:
  • anxiety
  • bereavement
  • marital problems
  • health issues
  • substance misuse
