Bramley Hill Counselling is able to work with clients of all ages. They offer a person-centred approach with each session being tailored to the clients own needs. This also involves the use of Cognitive Behaviour therapy (CBT) to help change certain thoughts and behaviours.

Each clients sessions focuses on the issues they choose to present and time is given to a collaborative partnership between client and counsellor.
