Our services
Counselling
At West-Gate Clinic, our counselling service provides a safe, confidential space to talk about whatever is on your mind, without judgement.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or simply finding life difficult, you don’t have to work through it alone. Our counsellors will listen, understand and support you at your own pace, helping you make sense of how you’re feeling and find ways to move forward.
A safe space to talk
Counselling is a type of talking therapy that gives you a safe, confidential space to talk openly about whatever is on your mind, without fear of judgement. Taking the first step can feel daunting, especially if you’re not sure what to expect, but you don’t need to be in crisis or have everything figured out before you come.
Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, struggling with a difficult situation, or simply finding things harder than usual. Whatever has brought you to counselling, your sessions are centred around you, your experiences and what you would like support with.
Could counselling help you?
Counselling can be helpful at many different points in life. You might consider counselling if you:
Feel overwhelmed, anxious, low or emotionally drained
Are struggling with confidence, self-esteem or difficult thoughts
Are going through grief, a relationship difficulty or a major life change
Find that stress is affecting your sleep, work or everyday life
Are struggling to cope or relying on unhelpful coping habits
Simply feel that you would benefit from having someone impartial to talk to
You don’t need to have a diagnosis or be in crisis to seek support. Counselling is there whenever you feel ready to talk.

Treatment plan
A free initial phone call with a fully registered West-Gate counsellor gives you the opportunity to get to know your counsellor, ask questions and understand what counselling could offer you. It’s also a chance to talk about what you’d like to achieve from one-to-one sessions, while your counsellor can assess whether counselling is the right support for you.
Spend an hour in a comfortable, private space with a professional, friendly and empathetic counsellor. Your sessions give you the time and freedom to explore the issues discussed during your initial phone call, at a pace that feels right for you.
At West-Gate, our dedicated counselling room has been thoughtfully designed to feel warm, calm and welcoming, with comfortable chairs, soft furnishings, plants and warm lighting to help you feel at ease.
At the end of your first face to face appointment, you will discuss with your counsellor the plan for continuing the process of psychotherapy with a schedule that works for you and ensures that you're able to develop through counselling as efficiently as possible
