Empowering individuals to overcome life's challenges
Sentient Counselling is a professional and private counselling service based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

What is Counselling?
Counselling is a collaborative process between the client and therapist, where we work together to explore and understand the client's experiences, challenges, and emotions. This process enables individuals to gain a clearer understanding of themselves and their circumstances, leading to improved emotional and mental health, as well as better relationships and life choices.
