Our counselling service offers a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment where you can talk openly, feel heard and begin to make sense of what you're experiencing.

You don't need to be in crisis to seek support. Sometimes, having the opportunity to talk things through with someone can help you gain clarity, develop coping strategies and feel more able to manage life's challenges.

Confidential support in a safe, welcoming space. To book, please call or text 07511 877224 (working hours only).

Please note, this is not a crisis line. If you or someone you know is in immediate distress or needs urgent support, please contact Samaritans on 116 123, available 24/7.

Free of charge

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.
