Counselling

The emotional effects of MS can be difficult not only for the person diagnosed, but also for their families and friends. There are times in all our lives when we need more than anything to be listened to. We may be facing a crisis, feeling stressed or unable to cope, feeling depressed, anxious, confused or just need to sort through some of our feelings in order to make decisions.

Counsellors are trained to listen attentively and sensitively to your concerns. They will seek to understand and support you through the difficulties you are facing. Counselling offers the opportunity to talk through your feelings and problems, confidentially, with someone who will not respond in a judgmental, critical way no matter what you may be experiencing and no matter how disturbing or distressing your feelings may be.

Counselling is available not only for anyone diagnosed with MS, but also for their families and carers. Counselling sessions usually last for one hour and you and your counsellor will decide together how often to meet and for how many sessions.
