Your Counselling Options
Whether you’re looking for the comfort and connection of in-person sessions or the flexibility and ease of online support, we offer both – so you can choose the option that best fits your lifestyle, personal needs, and sense of comfort.

At Active Listening Therapies we believe choice is important. Whether you choose face-to-face or online counselling you can expect the same high standard of attention. We work with clear boundaries, a strong ethical foundation, and a deep respect for your experiences.
Your wellbeing is at the heart of our approach, and we bring the same warmth, acceptance, and positive regard to every session, whether we’re in the same room or connecting with you remotely.
The choices is yours!
Let’s Discuss Options…
Option 1: In – Person
There’s something grounding about sitting together in a quiet, private space. In-person counselling offers time away from everyday noise – a chance to slow down and feel truly heard. Many clients in Newark say it becomes a calm anchor in their week.
If you’re in Newark, Balderton, or nearby villages like Fernwood or Farndon, our space is here for you.
Grounded environment: A calm, private space away from daily distractions.
Stronger connection: Natural rapport and trust built through shared presence.


Option 2: On-line
Online counselling offers flexible support without the hassle of travel. Whether you’re in Newark or further afield, it’s a convenient option that fits around your life. Many people feel more relaxed opening up from home, and you still get the same care, presence, and focus – just through a screen.
Flexible and accessible: Connect from anywhere – whether you’re in Newark, or further afield. There’s need to travel.
Comfort of your own space: Many clients feel more relaxed and open when talking from a familiar, private environment.
