We aim to provide a professional service, with all our counsellors working within the BACP ethical guidelines. All our counsellors are further BACP members (either student/registered members), that are either qualified or working towards qualification. We work closely as a team ensuring our counsellors are well supervised to make sure that those who access our service are receiving all they need/want at this time.

Individuals benefit from receiving a counselling service that works within wide limits, welcoming any counseling need. Although in recent years, we have often worked with problems stemming from or that lead to homelessness and vulnerability; we are also excited that new changes are opening up our service to a wider audience. In the past few months, this has allowed us to work with difficulties including and not limited to; sexual abuse, divorce/relationships, self esteem and confidence issues, anxiety, depression, coping with mental illness, death/loss, trauma, substance misuse/abuse, Bullying, parenting and this list goes on.

Everyone using the counseling service has further access to any other service we offer and can choose what direction they follow for themselves. Our counsellors work to enable individuals to find their own answers, open locked doors and see things in a different light.

We initially offer 12 sessions but this can be extended depending on the needs of the individual. Welfare is our top priority and we will always endeavor to refer people on if we agree they want/need more support.
