At the Olive Tree, we offer a range of emotional support services including 1-2-1 sessions with qualified practitioners, and monthly support groups. 1-2-1 sessions must be booked via the Centre Manager or appointed volunteer and we ask all members to let the Centre know as soon as possible if they need to cancel an appointment. There is no need to book if you wish to attend a support group.
Coaching is a way of supporting you, in a non-judgmental and confidential environment. It helps you to think about the difficulties you are experiencing with a view to finding your own answers. Our coaches will ask the right questions to help you see and do things in new and different ways. This will enable you to rebuild your self-confidence, take back control of your life and make different and better choices in the future.
Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind. Hypnosis, is a state of heightened awareness, where we can open our minds to beneficial suggestions, to make positive changes in our lives. Hypnotherapy can generally help with any problems we are finding hard to handle on our own.
Counselling is about supporting you to help you think about the difficulties you are experiencing with the view of finding your own answers. It is not always an easy process, as it may mean discussing things you feel uncomfortable about; but it can also be a relief to air these feelings, thoughts and ideas with someone who listens, does not judge and respects your confidentiality.
At the Olive Tree we run a number of support groups where you can come along and meet others in a similar situation to share experiences and advice in a relaxed, friendly and mutually supportive atmosphere. Please contact the centre prior to your first visit to make sure that the group is meeting that week.
