Adults
Be heard in a safe, understanding, and non-judgemental environment
SPRING therapeutic services provides confidential counselling and psychotherapy for adults seeking help for a wide range of mental health difficulties. We use an integrative approach and provide short, medium or long term talking and creative therapies, with an on-going review process.
We're Here to Support
Counselling is a place where you can explore your unique experience of life events and how that now affects you in your day to day life. You can take a deeper look inside yourself to gain a better understanding of your responses and behaviours in relation to these experiences and how you may want to change them.
Alongside our talking therapy we use a range of creative tools and techniques to help you express yourself when you find you run out of words.
(Concession rates available)
How do I start?
In order to attend weekly counselling you will need to arrange an Initial Consultation which will be 50 minutes long. In this confidential space you can share your reason for coming to counselling at this time, ask any questions and discover if you’re comfortable working with your counsellor. We will also go over any relevant paperwork so you can start your counselling journey as soon
as possible.
What can I expect?
Counselling is a confidential and safe space for you to talk without fear of judgement. You will need to attend an Initial Consultation before attending regular sessions. Each session is 50 minutes and usually we will meet at the same time each week depending on
availability.
How many sessions will I have?
We offer open ended work which means you can have as many sessions as you may need. Each session is 50 minutes.
The minimum we suggest is 6-12 sessions on a weekly basis.
How much does it cost?
We will agree the fee with you during your Initial Consultation - Our fees range from £30-£50 - our concession rates will require proof of your circumstances. Fees can be paid 24hrs in advance of your session via bank transfer or at the end of the session via our card machine. We do ask for 48hrs notice for any cancellations and if this is not given then the client will be required to pay for that missed session.
Why is it important?
In our busy lives we often don't take time out to really look at the things that are holding us back from being fully ourselves.
A counselling session is your space to understand yourself better, to grow and to make changes with out fear of judgment

Our Advice
1
Consistency
All sessions will be held on the same day and at the same time. This will help you to prioritise your counselling journey. It also helps with building a therapeutic connection with your counsellor.
Consistency means you get to build on the previous sessions and therefore gives better outcomes.
2
Confidentiality
Counselling is a safe place for you to share your whole self and know what you share is kept in that counselling room.
The only exceptions to this is around safeguarding concerns.
This will be explained in your Initial Consultation
3
Be Curious
We encourage you to be curious about yourself, your feelings and behaviours.
When you take time to pause and notice what is going on you then have a choice. Do I stay as I am or is this something I want to change?
4
Owning Your Therapy
Even though it can be scary we encourage you to come to counselling prepared to explore the deeper parts of yourself.
A counselling session is your space to take time to invest in yourself, to grow in awareness and understanding and to chooses the changes you want to make.
5
A Bumpy Journey
During counselling things can feel a bit worse before it gets better. This can be due to you connecting more to your feelings and growing in awareness of the issues you are addressing.
This can be part of the process of change.
