We provide confidential, one-to-one counselling with professionally trained counsellors for people over 18. Our counselling services are delivered in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's Ethical Framework. We were approved as an Accredited Service by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy in February 2006.

Charitable Counselling Service: Counselling appointments are available during evenings and weekends as well as during office hours by appointment. Counselling involves meeting with your counsellor on a weekly basis for one hour. You see the same counsellor each week usually on the same day and at the same time; however the finer details of your appointment are arranged directly between you and your counsellor. Our services are not time limited but progress is reviewed regularly to determine whether a further course of sessions would be beneficial. We aim to have counsellors working from the different counselling theoretical approaches. A contribution is requested for your counselling sessions and the Assessment Appointment as we receive no funding from any statutory bodies..

What to expect:

• You ring us on 01279 411330 and the office staff will take your details and book you in for an Assessment Appointment which will last for 1 hour.

• At your Assessment Appointment a counsellor speaks with you about your issues and assesses your requirements. You can ask questions and decide whether to proceed further.

• You then go on to our waiting list until one of our counsellor is available.

• You will then be contacted by the office staff to set up your first appointment with your counsellor, who will then work with you on the same day and time each week.

• We ask you to make a contribution towards your counselling and the assessment appointment. Your contribution plays a major part in helping us to stay open.
