Starting counselling can feel like a big step. You may be wondering what happens in a session, whether you’ll be understood, or if counselling can really help you. At Unique Wiring Counselling, we provide professional and compassionate counselling services in Accrington and Blackpool, offering a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges.
What is Counselling?
Counselling is a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what you’re experiencing. Unlike talking to friends or family, counselling gives you the opportunity to reflect and work through issues with someone trained to listen and support you.
Our counsellors use approaches such as CBT, EFT, and EMDR (Accrington only) to adapt therapy to your individual needs.
What Can Counselling Help With?
Counselling is not only for people in crisis. It can help with a wide range of issues, including:
- Anxiety and stress
- Depression and low mood
- Trauma and loss
- Relationship challenges
- Low self-esteem
- Neurodiversity-related difficulties (see our neurodiversity-friendly counselling)
- Adjusting to life changes
Whether you’re struggling with a recent event or something that has been building for a long time, counselling provides space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface.
What Happens in a Counselling Session?
A typical session lasts 50 minutes. The first session is usually about getting to know you, understanding your reasons for seeking counselling, and setting goals together.
Counselling is a collaborative process — you don’t have to come in with all the answers. We’ll work at your pace, exploring what feels important to you.
How Counselling Can Make a Difference
Many clients describe counselling as the first time they’ve felt truly heard and understood. Over time, it can help you to:
- Gain clarity on your thoughts and feelings
- Break unhelpful patterns
- Build healthier coping strategies
- Improve relationships and communication
- Develop greater self-acceptance and confidence
