1:1 Counselling Sessions
We provide a counselling service if you would like to discuss worries or more personal matters on a 1:1 basis.
We provide a private and confidential place, separate from your daily life, where you can explore issues or feelings which are causing you difficulty. It is a way of you addressing some of your concerns by talking them through. A one off drop-in is free, but you must ring and make an appointment first. There will be a charge for the counselling service. The charge will take into consideration how much you can afford to pay and may be as little as £3:00 per session.
