Lifecraft Counselling Service Most of us will experience

2010-07-06T10:23:24Z

Lifecraft Counselling Service

Most of us will experience emotional distress at some time in our lives. For some it will be a short-lived experience, for others something which continues to overshadow their life. Causes include:

Fractured relationships
Bereavements and other losses
Life-changing events, such as becoming physically or mentally unwell
Financial stress
Physical, psychological, sexual abuse

Counselling may help.

Short term therapy, such as CBT does not suit everyone and can leave some clients with a sense of ‘unfinished business’.

At Lifecraft members can access free, long-term, one-to-one counselling. We believe each individual is unique and worthy of respect.

We have a team of eight to ten counsellors. Some have been with us for many years. All are either qualified or in the final year of their training. Although our counsellors are trained in a diverse range of theoretical orientations, the overall ethos of the service is client centred; the focus is on the therapeutic value of the relationship between client and counsellor.

The Lifecraft Counselling Service is an organisational member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). The counselling team work in accordance with the BACP ethical framework for good practice and adhere to our own comprehensive procedures and guidelines. Fortnightly external supervision is provided to counsellors to ensure they maintain a high standard of professional and ethical practice.

Previous clients have described their experience of counselling at Lifecraft as:

If you feel you might benefit from the opportunity to talk to a counsellor, or would like to know more about the service we offer, please contact the Counselling Co-ordinator, 01223 566957, or email: counselling@lifecraft.org.uk

Shame No More Consultation Event

Shame No More

A new campaign to put a stop to mental health self-stigma and discrimination

Does your mental health diagnosis make you feel ashamed, less worthy and less entitled than others?

CONSULTATION EVENT

If you have lived experience of self-stigma and discrimination, i.e. you have felt ashamed because of your mental health diagnosis and have discredited yourself as a result, we would like to consult with you to help identify the key issues that need to be addressed.

Self-stigma causes us unnecessary suffering and hampers our recovery, let’s work together to put an end to it.

If you would like to get involved please attend one of the following meetings where we will be providing a delicious buffet meal. You will also receive a cash gift in appreciation of £10 for your time. Privacy and confidentiality will be respected throughout.

EVENING MEETING: Wednesday 11th May, 5.30pm to 7.00pm at Lifecraft, The Bath House, Gwydir Street, Cambridge, CB1 2LW.
