Free Counselling
Our counselling is provided free of charge.
We receive no NHS funding for our counselling service, despite supporting a significant number of people who are referred to us through NHS services. In fact, 48% of our referrals last year came through NHS referrals.
This means that, while we are helping people referred to us through NHS services, the counselling itself is funded independently through charitable fundraising and donations.
If you would like to help us continue providing this service, you can support our fundraising campaign.
Every donation, no matter how small, helps us continue offering free counselling and support to people in our community.
