MS-UK Counselling is confidential and is for people who have a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and live in the UK. It is the only service of its kind available in the country.

Counselling is a talking therapy. It gives you the opportunity to talk and reflect in a confidential and supportive space with a counsellor who is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). MS-UK is a BACP organisational member and our number is 275169.

Counsellors do not offer advice or tell you what to do but help you to talk about your experiences to make it easier to find a way forward.

Your mental health and emotional wellbeing are linked to your experience of MS so our counsellors have had comprehensive MS training.

Counsellors help you to explore how MS may be affecting your wellbeing and how you are adapting emotionally.

MS-UK Counselling can support you with MS related issues and may include…

anxiety, low mood or depression

acceptance – coming to terms with your MS diagnosis

a relapse, change of symptoms or condition progressing

impact on work, family, friends and other relationships

emotions such as guilt, anger, low self-esteem and confidence

Building a relationship with your counsellor is important in order to get the most out of the process. It can take a number of sessions before you start to see change but over time with support from your counsellor the results can be very positive.

You will have six sessions that are on the same day and time each week, last 50 minutes, and can be delivered over the phone or via a video link.

If you have a very specific issue you want to discuss with a counsellor then Single Session Therapy may be the right service for you.
