Happiness Matters Counselling specialises in providing confidential, compassionate counselling for individuals via secure online sessions.
Most people have some level of support around them, family, friends, colleagues and often that’s enough. Sometimes, though, what you’re dealing with feels too personal, too overwhelming, or too complex to share with the people in your life. That’s often when counselling can help.
Online counselling offers a safe, private space free from judgement, where you can talk openly about things that may feel awkward, uncomfortable, or deeply personal. Your counsellor will work alongside you, using well-established therapeutic approaches to help you better understand what’s contributing to your distress and to develop practical strategies to move forward.
All sessions are delivered online via Microsoft Teams or by phone, allowing you to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
Is it confidential?
Yes. Privacy and confidentiality are central to counselling.
As a Private practice, Happiness Mattes Counselling does not receive external funding, which means information from your sessions is not shared with funding bodies and is not recorded on a permanent medical record.
You are in control of who you choose to share information with, whether that’s a partner, employer or health insurer, unless you choose otherwise.
There are some legal and ethical limits to confidentiality, such as concerns about safety or if records are legally required by a court. These boundaries will be clearly discussed with you in your first session.
How many sessions will you need?
There’s no set number of sessions. Some people come for short-term support around a specific issue, while others choose ongoing sessions to explore patterns more deeply.
Regular sessions can help build momentum and trust in yourself, the process, and your counsellor, but you’re always welcome to book sessions at a pace that suits you and reassess along the way.
