Hello and Welcome,

It's likely that you've come here because things just don't feel right. Or you feel terrible. 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. Much as people may try very hard to cover it all up, there is always an impact. It all continues to ripple out. It is usually at this point, the point when people can openly acknowledge that there is an effect on their marriage/partnership, work etc, that they make contact.

People can struggle on silently for decades.

Life goes by.

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.

There are people who struggle on silently, sometimes 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.

About the counselling service

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.

Taking time off from work is often just not possible.

You can come in the evening.

Who is it for?

It needn't be a last resort. People often feel they've reached rock bottom - it doesn't have to be this way. These days counselling or therapy is far more mainstream. We see people from all walks of life. There is a massive increase in the numbers of professional people, high achievers, academics and business people who make contact. Ofen they recognise that whilst their professional life is good, their personal life lacks the same satisfaction. We provide:

Where you can come

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: There are three practice locations in this area:

Clarendon / Victoria Park

Stoneygate

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 - no one needs the unpredictability stress of finding safe, close by parking, particularly at a time like this.
