The Counselling and Family Centre

The Counselling and Family Centre CFC - by your side 'for whatever life throws at you'. Counselling is for anything that is troubling you.

We offer counselling from the age of 5 onward, as well as learning, support groups, and training for well-being in the work place. We can help you to make better sense of what’s happening in your life – all you need to do is pick up the phone, email or call in at the Centre

You are not alone – in Britain each year around 1 in 4 of us will experience emotional and mental health problems

We offer counselling to adult individuals, couples, families, and to children and young people from 5 years old. Additionally we provide support for families affected by addiction and parents affected by pregnancy and birth issues. Beyond counselling we provide self improvement courses and workshops for all, and training workshops for counsellors and health professionals. We have helped people through loss and bereavement, anxiety and stress, panic attacks, low self esteem, relationship problems, redundancy, domestic violence and abuse, depression and low mood……and many, many more problems. Let us help you to discover more about yourself and your inner strengths, sort out your needs and priorities, make decisions, accept what can and cannot be changed, find more effective ways of coping and decide what’s really important for you – you will never be judged or criticised.

Reality: Independence is valuable, but humans are not designed to handle everything alone. Talking things through can provide perspective, clarity, and relief. Seeking support is not a last resort. It is a healthy response to pressure.

Reality: Tiredness is not always about productivity. Emotional strain, ongoing stress, and decision fatigue can drain energy just as much as physical effort. Sometimes what looks like low motivation is actually mental overload.

04/03/2026

Reality: Most people manage stress privately. Social media, work environments, and daily routines rarely show the full picture. Comparing your internal experience to someone else’s external presentation is rarely accurate. You are not the only one finding things difficult.

Reality: Avoidance can bring short term relief, but unprocessed feelings tend to resurface later. Naming what is bothering you often reduces its intensity. You don’t have to solve everything immediately, but acknowledging it is a strong first step.

Reality: There isn’t a universal standard for coping. What feels manageable for one person can feel overwhelming for another. Coping is influenced by stress levels, sleep, past experiences, and current support. Struggling does not mean you are weak. It often means you are carrying a lot.

28/02/2026

Because something feels ordinary, it can feel undeserving of attention.

26/02/2026

When you feel low or anxious, it can seem permanent.

25/02/2026

When something feels stuck, the instinct is often to push more.

24/02/2026

Sensitivity is often criticised or misunderstood.
