What is counselling?
For us, at Polaris Therapeutic Services, counselling is an invitation. You are at the heart of all we do here. At our counselling service, we’re here to offer a supportive space where you can talk openly about whatever’s on your mind.
Our fully qualified counselling team are dedicated to listening, helping you explore your thoughts and feelings, and working together to make sense of any challenges you may be facing. Whether you're dealing with stress, relationship issues, or just feeling unsure about where you are in life, our goal is to help you gain new perspectives and find healthy, positive ways to move forward. We're here to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where you can feel heard and supported.
We offer our support both face to face and remotely, via Google Meet or the telephone.
“Mental health problems don't define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, importantly, you are not the rain.”
- Matt Haig, 2022.
Our Services
Face to Face
We look forward to offering Face to Face counselling from our own office in the very near future. This will be the ideal space to meet with your counsellor in a comfortable, confidential, and quiet low pressure environment to freely explore what you need, in the way you need to. Your appointment will last approximately 55 minutes, and these sessions can be booked via the phone, or website.
Online
If you prefer the flexibility of working online, you might prefer the use of our online service service. At Polaris Therapeutic Services, we use Google Meet, which is a secure and convenient platform to meet with your counsellor. Your counsellor will provide a video call link for you, you can access this service using any smart mobile device or personal computer with a camera.
Low Cost
We also hold some availability for clients to access a time limited, reduced fee counselling service. This is held online, using our Google Meet platform, and we do keep a waiting list for this popular option. This is a good option for those who have a specific goal in mind, and is a great way of giving counselling a go. Experience the same high quality counselling at a lower price.
Discovery Call
We also offer a no cost 30 minute phone call for individuals interested in hearing more about what we offer, with no further commitment required. This gives you the opportunity to talk with a counsellor about your needs, ask any questions, and hear more about what we can offer you. You can request a chat with one of our team by getting in contact directly using our contact number, or via our website.

Feeling nervous?
It's completely normal to feel a bit anxious before starting counseling. Reaching out for support can be a big step, and it's natural to have questions or concerns. Just know that we're here to make the process as comfortable as possible. Our sessions are relaxed, and there's no pressure to share more than you're ready for. Think of it as a space that’s just for you—a place where you can talk at your own pace and feel heard without judgment. We're here to listen and support you in a way that feels right for you.
If you need any adjustments or support to enable you to access counselling with us, please get in touch so that we can discuss this with you further. At Polaris Therapeutic Services, we pride ourselves on our flexibility so that we can offer all of our clients the same high quality level of support.
