• Ipswich Counselling

Welcome

At The Bridge Counselling Service we believe experiencing difficulties is part of being human and something we all encounter at various points throughout our lives.

We do not believe there is anything ‘wrong' with you. Just that you're wrestling with issues faced by being human.

Relationships with friends/family/partner becoming strained, Experiencing a traumatic incident, Growing up in an environment which didn't feel nurturing and supportive or which hurt you physically or sexually, Someone you loved or cared for has died, Living with chronic illness, Feeling stressed at work or as a parent, Reaching a pivotal age and not being sure what that means for the future, Needing to make a decision but finding it hard, Feeling ‘off' and not being sure why.

How counselling can help

Talking with a counsellor who is curious and has a genuine desire to understand and accept you can support you to sift through the thoughts, feelings and behaviours you're experiencing. Exploring your world can help you to see things in a different way. This can lead to a shift where things start to make more sense, feelings change, you come to know yourself better, have more compassion for yourself and feel less burdened.
