Counselling

"Pain changes us forever, but so does healing from from it."

Counselling at Osteopathic Sense gives patients the opportunity to discuss their problems in a safe and supportive environment.

Counselling aims to improve our ability to cope with stress, interpersonal difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and anxiety through the exploration of life experiences and resulting coping strategies; both positive and negative.

It is a collaborative process, enabling the individual to develop a more flexible response to life's challenges.

Many of us have been impacted by fear, anxiety and panic about coronavirus (COVID-19) recently. The community has been in a heightened state of anxiety for some time now. If you feel your mental well being impacted and are not sure what to do the following resources may be helpful.
