School Counselling

We currently deliver weekly school-based counselling in three schools. Our sessions combine talking therapies, creative techniques, play-based work, CBT, and culturally sensitive approaches.

We support pupils experiencing:

Anger and behavioural challenges.
Anxiety and mood swings.
Low self-esteem and confidence.
Self-harm and emotional regulation issues.
Family or home-related stress.
Lack of focus and academic overwhelm.

Children and Young People

We offer structured emotional and mental health support delivered by trained counsellors. Our youth counselling service helps young people outside of school hours to understand and navigate the issues they face.

Where appropriate, we also offer family counselling to support improved communication and healthier relationships within the home.

Couples Counselling

Relationship counselling (also known as couples counselling or marriage counselling) is a powerful form of therapy for addressing challenges within intimate relationships.

Our therapists help couples communicate more effectively, resolve conflict, and rebuild healthier, more fulfilling connections. Faith-based couples counselling is also available for those who prefer a spiritual or religious framework.

Faith-Based Counselling

Our Islamic counselling service integrates spiritual principles into the therapeutic process. Therapists work with clients in a way that honours their faith and aligns with an Islamic understanding of the self (nafs).

We are committed to delivering effective, culturally appropriate counselling that supports and empowers Muslim clients in a safe and respectful space.

Counselling in the Workplace

We offer confidential counselling services in schools, organisations, and businesses to support staff wellbeing.

Workplace counselling can:

Build emotional resilience.
Reduce anxiety and work-related stress

Improve morale and productivity

With Your Help we have helped so many

Talk Changes was recommended to me by a friend after the loss of my parents and I can honestly say it was the best thing I’ve ever done. I learnt so much about myself, what’s a trigger for me, how to deal with it as well as insight into my own personality which has helped me practice a lot more mindfulness.

I’m not going to say it’s an easy road you do have to talk about things you have pushed under surface but the more keep pushing the more it will eventually pop and come to the surface in not a healthy way.

Just because you look ok doesn’t mean you are and the more you leave and not discuss it becomes toxic. toxic for you and the people around you. I like that my counsellor is Muslim and female and that we can discuss the cultural side of our lives and the religious so it’s a holistic approach.

I'm glad I decided to reach out. It was the right decision to seek help and support for my mental health and i was contemplating it for ages. I was finally able to say out loud those things I have been silently holding onto and begin a journey that I know is a work in progress

I really appreciate my therapy sessions, and you've helped me begin unpacking those boxes. I honestly recommend speaking to someone, because you've given me a lot to think about and supporting techniques to assist me.

Loved it, very therapeutic and nice to get out and enjoy the scenery and others company

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

What is the difference between counselling and therapy and what will I need?

‘Counselling’ and ‘therapy’ are often used to mean the same thing but, generally, counsellors look at specific issues over a short time period, whilst therapists may go ‘deeper’, with treatment typically over a longer period of time. Book in a call with our therapist and they will give you a call to discuss further.

How long does each counselling session last?

Each session will usually last 30-50 minutes depending on your chosen counsellor or psychotherapist. However, this is often flexible and should be discussed with your therapist before attending the first session.

Do I have to pay for counselling sessions?

Yes, there will be a fee as per your circumstances. As we are a charity we offer schemes where you can get free or reduced sessions, depending on your circumstances.

The services provided by Talk Changes are open to all, regardless of race, religion, sex, sexuality, or age. Talk Changes offers clients the choice of videocall, telephone, or face to face with our walk and talk sessions.
