At AWC, we offer both Counselling and Psychotherapy. The treatment you receive depends on your presentation and needs. The differences between these therapies can be discussed with you at your clinical assessment. Everyone is offered a clinical assessment because we need to be sure that clients can engage in therapy and that it will be beneficial. It cannot be assumed that our therapies will be appropriate for the client. Where an individual is mentally very unwell or highly distressed, therapy may not be immediately possible. AWC Counselling can support people in developing the readiness for therapy.
