Gentle Cure Counselling Centre

We’re located over at number 16 on R C Dutt Road. It’s a place where people come when things are a bit heavy or they just need to talk. We’ve kept the space simple because fancy stuff doesn’t really help with what we do here. There’s a few chairs and some tea usually. Finding us isn't too hard if you know the road. It can get a bit noisy with the traffic outside, but inside we try to keep it calm. We’ve been seeing people for quite some time now. No one here is putting on an act. We listen to whatever is going on in someone’s life. Sometimes it’s family stuff, other times it’s just feeling stuck. It's not like a hospital or anything cold like that. It’s just a room where conversations happen. We don't have a big sign outside that shouts at you. Most folks hear about us from someone else. The sessions usually go for an hour, sometimes longer if the person really needs it. We try to be flexible with the timing because we know how life gets. It’s a small team here, just a couple of us who care about the work. We don't promise miracles, we just offer a spot to sit and work through things. It’s a quiet job, but we like being part of the neighborhood. We don't use those complicated medical terms unless we really have to. It's just human to human and trying to feel a little better.
