What is counselling and how does it work?


Counselling is a form of talk therapy that offers individuals the opportunity to discuss and explore emotional issues in a safe, confidential environment. Through discussion, reflection, and exploration of coping strategies, individuals gain insight into their challenges and develop skills to effectively manage them.


Counselling can help individuals overcome a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, and stress. By providing support, validation, and practical guidance, counselling empowers individuals to enhance their emotional wellbeing and navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence.


Common issues we address through counselling include:



We tailor each therapy session to your specific needs, ensuring you receive the support and guidance necessary to navigate life's challenges.

Types of counselling offered at Schoen Clinic Chelsea


We offer a variety of counselling services to address different mental health concerns:


Anxiety counselling


Anxiety is one of the most common mental health issues people face today. Our therapists specialise in anxiety counselling to help you manage symptoms such as worry, fear, and panic. We use a range of techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to help you understand and reduce your anxiety, so you can live a more fulfilling life.


Grief counselling 


Grief and bereavement counselling provide support for individuals dealing with the emotional aftermath of loss. Whether you're coping with the death of a loved one or facing other significant losses, our therapists will help you navigate the grieving process, offering compassionate support and tools to manage the intense emotions that accompany grief.


Relationship and couples counselling


Maintaining healthy relationships can be challenging, and couples often face issues that require external support. Our relationship counsellors are experts in couples therapy, helping you and your partner communicate effectively, rebuild trust, and resolve conflicts. We also offer marriage counselling and divorce support for couples undergoing major life transitions.


Self-esteem therapy


Struggling with low self-esteem or self-worth can affect all areas of life, from personal relationships to professional success. Our specialised self-esteem therapy sessions focus on building confidence, improving self-image, and helping you develop a healthier relationship with yourself. Through counselling, you'll learn practical strategies for improving your self-worth and tackling the root causes of low self-esteem symptoms.

Counselling can be beneficial for a wide range of mental health conditions. At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we offer:

  • Counselling for anxiety: If you're experiencing persistent worry or fear, our anxiety therapists can help you address these symptoms and develop coping strategies.

  • OCD therapy: Obsessive compulsive disorder can be debilitating, but with OCD treatment, our therapists can provide support through evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP).

  • Social anxiety treatment: Our therapy for social anxiety focuses on helping you regain confidence in social situations, improving your quality of life.

  • Parenting support counselling: Parenthood can be overwhelming, but with the right guidance, you can manage stress and improve family dynamics through parent interaction therapy or parenting support therapy.

How to choose the right counselling service for you


Choosing the right type of counselling depends on your unique situation and mental health needs. Here's how we can help:

  • Couples therapy: Ideal for partners looking to resolve relationship issues or improve communication.

  • Grief counselling: Best suited for those coping with loss, whether from death, divorce, or significant life changes.

  • Self-esteem therapy: If you're experiencing low self-worth or confidence issues, this therapy focuses on building a positive self-image.

  • Anxiety counselling: Ideal for individuals facing chronic anxiety, stress, or panic attacks, using evidence-based methods such as CBT for anxiety.

Is there a difference between counselling and therapy?


Yes, there is a difference between counselling and therapy, although the terms are often used interchangeably. Generally, counselling tends to focus on specific issues or life transitions, such as relationship problems, grief, stress management, or career concerns. It is often shorter-term and solution-focused, aimed at helping individuals develop coping strategies and achieve specific goals.


Therapy, on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses a range of therapeutic approaches and interventions aimed at addressing mental health issues, emotional difficulties, or behavioural challenges. Therapy may be more in-depth and may explore underlying patterns, beliefs, and emotions that contribute to ongoing problems. It can include various modalities such as the previously mentioned CBT, as well as psychodynamic therapy, interpersonal therapy, and more.


Both counselling and therapy can be effective in promoting personal growth, self-awareness, and emotional wellbeing, and the choice between them often depends on individual needs and preferences.
