Welcome, let’s talk…
Welcome to Active Listening Therapies, an established and trusted counselling service in Newark on Trent. If you are considering counselling but haven’t found an organisation you feel comfortable with yet, hopefully we can help.
We opened in 2017 and have since developed a counselling service supporting young people, adults, schools and businesses requiring employee counselling. You have the choice of female or male counsellors who work as full-time therapists.
How we work
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 negatively 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.
When considering counselling, the hardest (and most important) part is finding the right counsellor. Come for a consultation, and see how you feel before you commit to exploring your circumstances.
Family
In today’s post pandemic society many families have had to adapt to new norms which might include disrupted schedules, reduced finances, multiple jobs and choices which may not be ideal.
What ever the situation may be, we have the time and space to discuss, and begin to make sense of tangled emotions, health worries and day-to-day challenges getting the way of a stress free life.
LGBTQ+, Gender & Identity
At Active Listening Therapies we encourage diversity and inclusion. We believe everyone should be treated respectfully and with compassion. If you are feeling thoughts of change, or are re-inventing yourself, we can help you with your journey.
Sexuality, gender, heritage and identity are deeply personal chapters of your unique story… perhaps there is more to be written? We can help you with that.
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.
Workplace support
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.
