Private Counselling in Leicester (LE2) and in Leicestershire (LE9)

Hello and Welcome,

It's likely that you've come here because things just don't feel right. The way you feel about yourself and your life matters hugely.

It matters because the knock-on effects are endless. Your close relationships, family life, friendships, work, study, financial situation - all may suffer. It all continues to ripple out.

Feeling deeply understood is often what's always been missing. And that's the starting point.

Sometimes others see and know our 'public' self and fail to see and know our 'private' self. Sometimes we don't really know our own private selves. But somehow we all know when things just don't feel good. Or feel terrible. And you're probably at one of those points.

People struggle on silently for decades. Then there comes a time in life when they're ready. Ready to ask someone to help them untangle it all. Primarily people need someone to really understand the "what it's like to be me". And this is the starting point.

So how do you choose?

Yes indeed. This counsellor? That counsellor? They all say similar things on websites. How do you know who will feel right for you? Instinct? Gut feeling? It's a difficult one. And it's so terribly important. Somehow the 'fit' just has to feel right. We understand this. Call and we can talk it through.


What we offer you

Primary Counselling is a long established, caring and responsible private Leicester Counselling Practice.

People come to us for many different reasons, but the common deeper feeling is often a sense that they have lost purpose or meaning in their lives. We help you to overcome difficulties and deeply personal problems, that often feel painful and distressing. You can come privately and confidentially and are offered a safe, secure, non-judgemental environment.

Unlike some of the NHS services there are no waiting lists. You can make an appointment today.

We know that taking time off from work is often just not possible. You can come in the evening.

Where are we?

The LE9 counselling practice is located in a peaceful little village. In between Leicester and Hinckley we are near enough to the main A47 (near Enderby) but far enough from the stresses of traffic, fumes and manic activity.

The LE2 counselling practices are in Clarendon Park, Stoneygate and on London Road close to De Montfort Street & University Road. These practices provide people with an environment that is not only welcoming but also very appropriate for counselling.

Parking: You can park outside! This matters to people - who wants to trudge to their car on a bleak, dark November evening?


We're So Easy To Reach
The County Practice (LE9) is located in a quiet village location close to Blaby, Desford, Enderby, Glen Parva, Groby, Hinckley, Kirby Muxloe, LFE, Narborough and Nuneaton.

We are a couple of minutes drive from the main A47 between Leicester and Hinckley. The practice is within striking distance of NEXT HO and Caterpillar.

The City Practices (LE2): Our private counselling consulting rooms in Stoneygate and in the Victoria Park areas are easily accessible from Central Leicester and the University.
Parking is available.
