At our initial meeting she put my son at ease immediately and really took the stress out of a very stressful situation.

What is mental health counselling and how can it help me?
Mental health counselling is a talking therapy that provides a confidential space to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences with a qualified professional. It may help people experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties or other emotional and mental health concerns.
What happens in your first therapy session?
In your first therapy session, the focus is on getting to know you and understanding what has brought you to therapy. Your therapist will ask about your current concerns, relevant background, and what you would like support with.
You will have time to talk openly, ask questions, and discuss what therapy may look like going forward. No treatment begins without your agreement, and there is no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with.
The session is designed to help you feel safe, understood, and clear about the next steps.
Do you offer online and face-to-face mental health counselling?
Yes. The Therapy Company offers face-to-face appointments from its Preston location, with online therapy also available depending on the service required. This can provide greater flexibility for people who prefer remote support or cannot attend in person.
Do you offer autism and ADHD assessments?
Yes. The Therapy Company offers autism and ADHD assessments for adults, children and young people. Assessment pathways vary depending on age, individual circumstances and the service required.
