Counselling
Counselling is a talking therapy that gives you a confidential, non-judgemental space to work through what's going on for you, with someone trained to listen and help you make sense of it.
Counselling has been part of HealthSpace for 11 years, and our team is well regarded in Bishop's Waltham and across Hampshire for the range of support we offer, from one-to-one sessions to couples counselling, and for the calm, professional space they work in. Every counsellor is a member of a professional body, and each brings a different area of experience, so you can be matched with someone who fits what you're going through. You don't need a GP referral, and a good first step is a short introductory session with no pressure to commit to more.
What it can help with
People come to counselling for many reasons, and you don’t need a crisis or a diagnosis to book. Some of the things our counsellors support people with include: Stress and anxiety, including constant worry, difficulty switching off and exam or work pressure. Low mood and depression, when life feels flat, heavy or hard to get going in. Bereavement and loss, including baby and child loss, and the grief that can follow any significant change. Fertility, pregnancy and becoming a parent, from the emotional side of trying to conceive to the adjustment of life with a new baby.
Relationship and couples difficulties, with counselling available for one person or for two. Divorce and life transitions, including the menopause transition, when so much changes at once. Serious illness and health-related anxiety, and high-functioning stress and burnout, for the people who keep everything going for everyone else and rarely stop to ask for help themselves.
Not sure whether what you’re going through is something counselling can help with? Message us or call 01489 874 100 and we’ll talk it through with you.

Frequently asked questions
No, you can book directly.
Yes, completely, in line with our counsellors' professional codes of conduct.
It varies. Your counsellor will talk with you about what feels right, rather than committing you to a fixed course upfront.
Both are available. Sharon and Louise both offer couples counselling alongside their one-to-one work.
If you're not sure, message us and tell us a little about what's brought you in, and we'll point you to whoever fits best.
Please give as much notice as you can, it means we can offer the slot to someone else.
