Private Counselling In Liverpool & Wirral

About Our Counselling

• → Benefits Of Private Vs Free Counselling

  If you’ve been thinking about trying therapy, you might feel a bit confused and not quite sure where to start. It is perfectly normal to feel this way. You might be looking around, trying to decide who to call. If you are looking for free counselling in Liverpool, the NHS offers free support, but unfortunately, you will have to join a long waiting list.

  If you want to skip waiting up to 6 months for an appointment and get help right away, you might find our private practice much more beneficial.

  Here’s just a few of the reasons why more and more people are coming to us for private therapy in the Liverpool and Merseyside area:

  • No waiting lists – you can start your sessions within a few days rather than having to wait months. You don’t have to set a long waiting list, feeling like you’re just another number.
  • More choice – you get to choose your therapist. If, for any reason, you don’t feel comfortable with your original choice, you are free to choose another one until you find one that you connect with.
  • Longer sessions – our counselling sessions usually last around 50 minutes, giving you enough time to feel heard and understood.
  • Consistency – you will see the same therapist every time you visit, so you build a strong trusting relationship.
  • Total privacy – anything you discuss with us is 100% private and confidential. You don’t have to worry about anything being stored on an NHS computer system or being shared with your doctor.
  • Flexible appointments – you can book an appointment that fits around you. We offer morning, afternoon and evening appointments, which are ideal for people with busy lives.
  • Comfortable and calm – we offer a warm and relaxed room where you will feel at ease to talk about whatever’s on your mind.

  Private therapy is exactly that – private. It means it is 100% private and confidential. It means having your own private space with one of our therapists where you can go at your own pace and time. If you’re searching for private counselling in Liverpool, we offer a space where you’ll always be met with compassion and respect.

  You can call Mindworks Counselling on 07951041532 and ask to book a free consultation. If you’re unable to call at the moment, you can use our online booking form.

• → What To Expect From Attending Private Counselling

  If you are thinking about starting therapy, it can feel like you’re taking a really big step. You might be wondering what will happen in your first session, or whether you’ll feel comfortable enough to open up and talk about what’s been bothering you.

  Here’s a quick look at what it’s like when you walk through our doors:

  • A calm, welcoming space – as soon as you walk in, you’ll notice how peaceful it is, and you feel like you can take a breath and be yourself.
  • A warm, trained therapist – someone who will listen to you without judgement and wants to truly understand what you’re going through so they can help.
  • Go at your own pace – there’s no pressure to talk about anything you don’t feel ready to talk about. Go at your own pace until you feel comfortable enough to talk about the things on your mind.
  • Support for whatever’s on your mind – whether you have one particular issue you want to work through or you feel like everything is tangled up – will help you make sense of it.
  • Practical tools – our skilled counsellors and therapists will teach you some coping strategies to help you feel more in control of your emotions.

  Some people cry during their therapy sessions. Others sit in complete silence. Some talk nonstop. All of it is okay.

  Our job is to meet you wherever you are.

  If you’re considering therapy in Liverpool, know that every session is shaped around what feels right for you.

• → How Many Counselling Sessions Do You Need?

  There’s no one size fits all answer when it comes to therapy. Everybody’s life experiences are different, so we tailor our support to your needs.

  Some people come with a specific problem and feel better after a few sessions. Others need long-term support, especially ff they are working through trauma or some other long-standing difficulties.

  He’s a general guide to help you understand your options:

  • Short-term therapy (6–12 sessions) – this number of sessions is ideal for people who want to address one key issue, such as anxiety, phobias or a recent loss.
  • Medium-term therapy (3–6 months) – this timescale is useful for people who are struggling with ongoing challenges like self-esteem, relationship problems or stress.
  • Long-term therapy (6 months or more) – helpful for people who experience complex trauma or any other deep-rooted issues or need ongoing emotional support.
  • One-off sessions – sometimes one session is enough to get some clarity about a particular issue.

  If you’re not sure how many sessions you need, don’t worry, we’ll figure it out together. After your first counselling session, we’ll have a better understanding of the issues you are struggling with and a clearer idea of how many sessions you might need going forward.
