University life isn’t always easy

University can be one of the most exciting times of your life. It can also be a time of uncertainty, pressure and change. Whether you’re settling into a new city, managing academic demands, dealing with relationships, worrying about the future or struggling to work out what comes next, you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

At Bright Light, we believe that talking things through can make a real difference.

We’re offering discounted counselling, £30 per session for students at any of the universities in Edinburgh, providing an opportunity to talk confidentially with a professional counsellor in a supportive,
non-judgemental environment. More details here. Or call us.

Prostate cancer - free counselling

When people talk about prostate cancer, the focus is often on medical treatment: appointments, test results, medications, and procedures. Which are, of course, incredibly important.

But there is another part of the experience that can sometimes receive less attention: the impact that prostate cancer can have on relationships. Many men find themselves facing questions they never expected to ask. Changes in health, energy levels, intimacy, communication, confidence, and future plans can place strain on even the strongest relationships.

We’ve a limited number of fully funded counselling appointments for couples and individuals available for men diagnosed with prostate cancer. We provide a safe and confidential space where you can talk openly, understand one another more fully, and develop ways of navigating these challenges together. It isn’t about assigning blame or suggesting that a relationship is failing. Rather, it’s about strengthening communication, building understanding, and helping people face difficult circumstances as a team. For more information and to register, email Rebecca. Appointments are completely free, fully funded by a small Prostate Cancer grant.
