Olip Therapy · Fareham & Portsmouth

Counselling Therapy in Fareham & Portsmouth Hampshire

A safe, confidential space to talk, in person or online across the UK.

A space that is just for you

Sometimes it is one thing that has happened. Sometimes it is lots of small things that have built up until they feel too heavy to carry on your own. Either way, counselling gives you an hour where you can say what is really going on, to someone whose only job is to listen and help.

Your counsellor will not tell you what to do. They will help you make sense of how you feel, notice the patterns that keep you stuck, and find your own way forward, at a pace that feels right for you.

You do not need the right words, or a reason that sounds serious enough. You just need to start.

Counselling in Fareham, Hampshire since 2003

The things people worry about before they start

Almost everyone has a reason to put it off. These are the ones we hear most, and what actually happens.

My problem is not serious enough

There is no threshold. If something is taking up space in your head or getting in the way of your life, it is worth talking about. You do not have to be in crisis to deserve support.

I will not know what to say

You do not need to. Your counsellor will help you begin, with gentle questions and no pressure. Plenty of people start with "I am not sure why I am here", and that is fine.

I will be judged

You will not. Our counsellors are qualified and BACP registered, and they have heard a great deal. The room is confidential and non-judgemental, whatever you bring into it.

What if we do not click?

Then we find you someone else. We match you with a counsellor on the free call, and if it does not feel right after a session or two, you can change therapist, no awkwardness.

Still have a question? Call free on 0800 970 4776

How much does counselling cost?
Counselling sessions are £72 each, or £396 for a block of six. Online and in-person sessions cost the same, and your first 15 minute call is free. See our fees for everything else.
Is counselling confidential?
Yes. What you say stays between you and your counsellor. The only exceptions are if there is a serious risk of harm, or a legal duty to share. Your counsellor will explain this in your first session.
How long does counselling take?
It depends on you. Some people find 6 to 12 sessions is enough, while others prefer longer to explore things in more depth. Many notice a difference within the first few weeks, and you can review it with your counsellor as you go.
Can counselling help with things from the past?
Yes. Counselling can help with what is happening now, with things from the past such as childhood experiences, or with both. You decide what you want to focus on.
How do I find the right counsellor?
Start with a free 15 minute call. We will listen to what you are looking for and match you with a counsellor who suits you. If it does not feel right after a session or two, you can change.
Where are you based?
Our rooms are at Arena Office, Lancaster Court, 8 Barnes Wallis Road, Fareham, Hampshire, PO15 5TU, easy to reach from Portsmouth, Southampton and Gosport. You can also have counselling online from anywhere in the UK.
