2014 Winner ‘Outstanding Contribution to the Community’
WHAT WE OFFER
Today, more and more people are seeking – and deriving great benefit from – the opportunity to talk to someone who will provide support and listen to their problems with objectivity, without judgement and in complete confidence. Over the past 12 months, our team of over 30 therapists has provided a staggering 6,300 sessions – equivalent to more than 120 each week. Our counsellors are highly skilled and experienced practitioners qualified in: • Play Therapy • Creative Arts Therapy • Children’s and Young People’s Counselling • Couples’ Counselling
• Family Therapy • Hypnotherapy • NLP • Hypno-CBT
They work with issues that include: • Abuse • Anxiety • Bereavement • Depression • Domestic Violence • Low Self-esteem
• Parent-child Relationships • Relationship Issues • Self-harm • Recovery from Substance Abuse
Low-Cost Service Our Low-Cost Service is designed for people in difficult financial circumstances, on a low wage, or in receipt of benefits. It is largely staffed by trainee counsellors who are in their final years of university study and who work under close supervision within the Service. Some are already qualified and are working towards a Master’s Degree or accreditation.
HOW WE WORK
Deciding to see a counsellor is a huge step and trying to find the right professional can be a daunting process. It is not surprising if you are confused by terms such as “Person-Centred”, “Psychodynamic”, “Transactional Analysis”, “Adlerian”, “CBT” etc. Which should you choose? At the Centre, we have a large team of counsellors with many different specialisms and we take time to match you with the professional who we feel would best meet your needs. The service we offer is open-ended: your counselling will finish when you are ready to finish. There’s no need for a referral – simply contact us by phone, email or in person – and we will take it from there. Sessions are 50-60 minutes in length, and their frequency is tailored to your needs.
Credentials The Counselling Service is an organisational member of the British Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling (www.bacp.co.uk tel 01455 883300) and operates according to their guidelines. All our counsellors hold current DBS (CRB) checks, professional liability insurance, and all are individual members of a professional governing body.
