Frequently Asked Questions

Counselling is a Talking Therapy which involves speaking to a trained professional about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is a safe space to explore yourself, explore complicated issues and make positive changes in your life, if you want to. One of our Blogs explains more about Counselling.  What is counselling? (nurturementalhealth.co.uk) 

Counselling can help everyone! We believe it is important to invest time in your mental health now to prevent mental ill health later on. We specialise in helping people who feel held back in some way; with issues such as low self-esteem, lack of confidence or through life issues which have prevented them from being the best they can be, both in their career and personal life. See our blog for more info:  Will Counselling Help Me? (nurturementalhealth.co.uk) 

At the first session you will be asked some questions to help us to understand how we can best help you, and we will explain how we work. On-going sessions will then focus on the topics that you want to talk about as you explore your feelings. Each session lasts around 50 minutes.

The first step is to make contact with us! You can call us, use the messaging icon on this website, or send us an e-mail. We will then call you back to make the first appointment. After that you are under no obligation to continue if you don't feel it's right for you.

We offer on-line video sessions to make accessing therapy more convenient for you. These sessions are normally weekly at a time that works for you. Accessing therapy privately means you can get the help you need much more quickly. See our blog for more information:  What is On-Line Therapy? (nurturementalhealth.co.uk)  

We also offer face-to-face counselling in Middlesbrough during the daytime. We are based at Nunthorpe Wellness Centre, 87 Guisborough Road, Nunthorpe, TS7 0JS

All our 50 minute sessions are charged at £65 each. This is payable before the session so that when we meet, we can concentrate on you. Please see our bog  Why we ask you to pay for Counselling in advance. (nurturementalhealth.co.uk)  for more information on this. Please let us know if you are accessing counselling through your insurance or employer though, as this may affect the rate.

BACP is the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy, which is the professional association for members of the counselling professions in the UK. It holds a register of therapists qualified to practice and its members must adhere to strict ethical guidelines to protect clients. It is important when choosing a therapist to ensure they are a member of a professional body, such as the BACP, to ensure you are receiving a safe service. All our therapists are members of the BACP, so you can be sure you are in good hands.
