Did you know that nearly two thirds of people in the UK put on a brave face to avoid talking about their mental health? Today is Time to Talk Day, a UK-wide campaign that encourages people to become comfortable discussing their mental health.
If you feel like you need to talk to someone, but aren’t sure where to start, then our Cornwall Counselling Institute (CCI) Counselling Service is here to help. The service provides a safe and confidential place to talk with a counsellor, where you can discuss anything that’s worrying you, including:
The service not only helps Cornwall College students, but it is open to anyone in the local community. The CCI Counselling Service is the largest low-cost counselling service in the South West, offering one-to-one sessions for as little as £5 an hour for students and £10 an hour for the general public. Sessions can either be online, on the phone or in-person.
The confidential service is managed by experienced, qualified counsellors, and staffed by dedicated counsellors who are currently training on our Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling and Therapy. The Diploma has been created for people wishing to become a professional counsellor, and is accredited through both the University of Plymouth and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
If you’ve never had counselling before, then it might feel like a daunting experience. However, our counsellors are here to listen and help support you through whatever issues you are facing. Many people find that talking in confidence with someone outside of their daily life can really help make a difference to your wellbeing.
