Many people traumatised by the troubles will have ongoing issues of depression and anxiety. These survivors find at times that being able to talk to a counsellor about the issues affecting them and reflecting on trauma in their lives helps them continue on their road to recovery. Indeed many people who begin counselling will often return and use it as a way of dealing with new challenges and issues that they may face. Our confidential counselling service is provided free to members and can be accessed in a number of ways either through their G.P. or self referral.
Individual treatments are available on a daily basis at the centre and are carried out by our team of highly qualified professional therapists. The wide range of holistic therapies that we offer helps us meet the individual client need and the growing demand for the service. By carrying out client consultations our therapists can then recommend an appropriate therapy for each individual and create a treatment plan tailored to their need. Treatments available include; Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Hot Stones Therapy, Aromatherapy and Reiki.
