Our Counselling Services
General Counselling
No matter your age, gender or personal experience, there comes a time when we all may need some extra support, someone that we can trust and talk to. Counselling is a powerful tool that we can use to tap into your natural strengths and guide you towards solutions and finding new ways to cope. At Indy Support Services, I offer counselling for women, men, and gender non-conforming individuals in a supportive, private and secure setting, allowing you to confidently share your thoughts, foster personal development, and gain clear direction and meaning in life.
Trauma Counselling
Trauma can affect your behavioural, emotional, and physical well-being. I will support you in working through your traumatic experience by providing emotional validation, listening to your story, and helping you work through past experiences to resolve deep-rooted issues. I will empower you with coping strategies and foster an understanding of your trauma's impact to promote resilience and enable you to pursue a fulfilling life.
Grief & Loss Counselling
Grief can come in many forms, often triggered by the loss of a loved one. However, it can also come from life changes or losses such as losing a pet, a relationship break-up, loss of a job, loss of possessions through disaster, and children leaving home. I will support you through your grief, and together, we can make sense of your feelings and thoughts and find your way forward to a new normal.
Survivors of Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse can affect anyone at any time, leaving behind unpleasant memories. I provide a listening ear in a safe, non-judgmental, confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings about your past experiences. By rebuilding your self-esteem, confidence, and empowerment, you will learn about healthy relationships and understand that the abuse was never your fault.
Parenting Counselling
Parenting can be challenging, whether you’re a birth mother, stepmother, adoptive mother, or foster carer. As a dedicated professional, I can provide knowledge, guidance, tools, and emotional support to help you navigate parenting phases while tackling stress and emotional challenges. My aim is for you to enhance your coping strategies and gain a richer insight into yourself and your family unit.
