Counselling At The Hub
Counselling provides an accepting and confidential space to discuss any issues that may be affecting you. With the help of a trained counsellor you can explore your thoughts and feelings to help you better understand yourself and others. Counsellors will not tell you what to do or think about an issue, but we will help you find your own way forward.
You may have anxieties about relationships, your future, money, social pressures or just getting through the day with not much to do and too much time to dwell on negative thoughts.
We’ve partnered with Cornwall Counselling For Social Change and are offering up to nine free counselling sessions for 18 – 35 year olds with trained counsellors, either in person or over the phone. We have a slight waiting list but will endeavour to see you within a few weeks.
