Life can be a struggle and if you can relate to any of these statements or find it hard to cope with difficult events in your life , we are here to help.

"I sometimes feel everything is too much"

"I can’t stop worrying"

"I always feel on the outside, looking in "

"I find it hard to trust other people and struggle with relationships"

"I just want the pain to stop but don’t know how"

"I feel anxious all the time and suffer with panic attacks"

"I sometimes wonder who I really am "

"I feel stuck "

Sometimes we can find ourselves overwhelmed by the obstacles in front of us, or we feel lost and can’t see the path ahead.

As counsellors we will join you on your journey and walk with you.
Whilst we cannot pull you to the top, we can point out obstacles or different routes along the way. By working together as a team you may find you can get to where you want to be.

Counselling and psychotherapy are umbrella terms for a wide range of talking therapies. What they all have in common is that they provide a regular, confidential, compassionate, non-judgemental and empathic space to explore where you are and where you want to be.

• find your own solutions for areas of your life that maybe troubling you

We work with issues including:

Seeking help can be daunting and we try to make it as easy for you as possible. If you feel that you would like to try counselling, either contact us by phone, email or text. We will get back to you and arrange a chat on the phone or book an initial appointment to discuss how we can help.

We understand that seeking help can be scary and some people find it comforting to have their canine companion with then. For this reason well behaved dogs are welcome at Cape Counselling
