​The One Constant Counselling & Psychotherapy Service is a client-centered Integrative therapy service providing clients with the coping skills and techniques to enable them to deal with the ever changing and at times challenging journey that is life. As we progress through life we carry with us the sum of all our experiences. These subjective experiences are the foundations on which most of our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are grounded. At times our perception of our experiences, past or present, can distort our thinking, leading to ruminating patterns of unhelpful thinking. These unhelpful thinking patterns can leave us feeling a range of negative emotions such as feeling anxious, low, stressed, angry, frustrated and even hopeless which can then manifest in our behaviours on a daily basis. This negative cycle over time can have a knock on effect resulting in even more unhelpful behaviours or habits to cope with the stressors we're experiencing. In our sessions we aim to identify these unhelpful patterns and challenge their basis and offer a more rational realistic and helpful way of thinking and behaving to replace the old negative patterns leading to more more positive and happy life.
