Police, Fire, Ambulance Counselling in Basingstoke

Counselling for Police, counselling for the Fire service and counselling for Ambulance staff in Basingstoke. Counsellor Simon Cook has his therapy room on the edge of Basingstoke town centre and provides emergency services counselling for members of the Police, Fire and Ambulance services looking for support with work issues or difficulties in life away from blue light occupations.

First responders, whether from Police, Fire or Ambulance, often deal with incidents that can include unpleasant, shocking and certainly challenging situations. Counselling can help to process the mental anguish and provide professional wellbeing support for these difficulties through talking therapy. 

As a member of staff in the emergency services you will have gone through rigorous and thorough training to try and prepare you for any situation you may end up facing but no amount of training can be sufficient to deal with traumatic circumstances and the potential torment you may experience.

It’s certainly not just emergency situations that can bring about difficulties for someone who works in a blue light profession. Whatever your role, working within the Police, Fire and Ambulance services will mean tremendous amounts of pressure, responsibility, stress, working tough shift patterns and long hours. Counselling offers support for all of these issues and provides a confidential and safe environment to explore feelings of discomfort and distress.
