Welcome to Active Listening Therapies, an established counselling service in Newark on Trent. If you are considering counselling but haven’t found anything you feel comfortable with yet, hopefully we can help.
We opened in 2017 and have since developed the counselling service to cater for young people, adults, schools and businesses requiring employee assistance. You have the choice of female or male counsellors who work as full-time therapists.
Counselling is also known as talking therapy. The process starts with you sharing your thoughts, worries and circumstances. We then consider causes and trigger points and how we can re-address them, followed by postive coping strategies. Throughout our relationship we will hold you in positive regard – you wont be judged on anything you bring to a session.
Hopefully our site will answer some of your questions… why not come for a consultation to see how counselling can work for you? You’ll find more information about our services below.
Young People
It’s not easy for a young person to make sense of the modern world. There are many demands which add confusion to an easily influenced mind set.
Whether you are a experiencing life challenges, or you are a concerned parent or guardian, we can help.
Adults
The last few years have redefined how we live our life, and the world is different place. It can feel like there are new challenges to deal with each week.
The hardest part is finding the right counsellor, come for a consultation, and let us make you feel comfortable.
Counselling In Schools
The school environment can be difficult for children and young people who are experiencing life challenges. We understand these demands.
For experienced counsellors that can work alongside your pastoral and teaching staff, we have you covered.
EAP Referrals
You may be a business requiring emotional and mental health support for your staff, a GP, or an agency looking to refer on.
We offer male and female counsellors to support you, your staff and your clients with person centred, CBT and solution focussed counselling.

Why your New Year resolutions will fail
As 2024 unfolds, we are drawn to the tradition of bettering ourselves, and so we begin to make plans to improve on the last year; promises that are filled with good intent, purpose, and renewal. However, invariably, these resolutions will have been broken by the start of February. Raising the question is this self-defeating behaviour? […]
