Your first session is a chance to talk through what has brought you to counselling and what you would like support with. Your therapist will explain how sessions work, answer any questions, and help you feel comfortable with the process.
Counselling
When counselling can help
People choose counselling for many different reasons — everyone is unique. It can help when adjusting to unexpected changes, or when navigating a change you’re choosing for yourself.
Counselling can support a wide range of challenges, including:
-
Feeling stuck or unsure what to do next
-
Anxiety, depression, or ongoing stress
-
Work-related pressure or burnout
-
Relationship difficulties
-
Bereavement, loss, or significant life changes
-
Coping with upsetting past or recent experiences
-
Difficult emotions such as anger, guilt, sadness, or low self-esteem
-
Managing a long-term physical health condition that affects mental wellbeing

Counselling at Rise
At Rise, we focus on you.
Our counselling service gives adults and children a safe, confidential space to explore challenges, work through difficult feelings, and build emotional resilience. Every session is tailored to your needs, helping you recognise unhelpful patterns and find practical, manageable ways to cope and create positive change.
Your therapist provides a non-judgemental, supportive space, listening and guiding you without giving advice or labels. The aim is to help you understand yourself better, build confidence, and develop strategies that work for you.
We carefully match you with a therapist suited to your needs and preferences. Sessions can sometimes feel challenging, but engaging fully often brings insight, growth, and a greater sense of self-understanding. A standard counselling programme usually lasts 6–8 sessions, but this is always dependent on you and is reviewed throughout. At Rise we have the following formats available in-person counselling, online counselling or phone counselling, giving you the flexibility to access support in a way that works best for you.
All our therapists meet high professional standards and the service is an organisational member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), ensuring recognised quality and ethical care.
