Independent counsellors are dedicated to providing services for those local residents who are on low incomes. If you’re on benefits or are unemployed there’s no reason why you can’t reap the rewards of therapy too.

You will be put in touch with caring counsellors and psychotherapists who are genuinely interested in supporting you through any issues or worries you may be experiencing either as an individual or a couple.

We offer a comfortable, confidential environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings – with the therapists supporting you through the entire process.

The cost of treatment ranges from £15 for those on who are unemployed and in receipt of benefits, up to £35 for those who can afford it. The exact cost will be agreed between you and your counsellor. Patients who are funded by external organisations, such as mental health trusts, are charged the full rate.

All the counsellors are qualified and accredited.

What's on offer?

Psychodynamic Counselling:

This is a therapeutic approach that embraces the work of all analytic therapies - helping individuals to unravel, experience and understand their true, deep-rooted feelings in order to resolve them. A central aim of the psychodynamic approach is to help the client to become more aware and to bring unconscious feelings into consciousness. The counsellor's role is to help clients to gain understanding and insights into aspects of the self previously unknown. This is achieved by bringing unconscious processes, resistances, defences, conflicts and feelings to the surface.

Couples Counselling:

We give you a safe environment in which to talk about your relationship issues so you can improve your communication and gain confidence in self-expression within your relationship. We can help you discover how to negotiate and compromise with one another so you can discover ways of moving forward – either together or apart. By analysing your behavioural patterns and the ways in which you communicate with each other, our counsellors will help you see discrepancies in your and your partner’s behaviour and teach you techniques to improve your communication.
