Low Cost Counselling Service
Our Low Cost Counselling Service operates from October to July each year. The service aims to increase access to services by providing short term counselling and psychotherapy for those on low incomes, those who are unemployed, students, and those in receipt of state benefits.
Our low-cost counselling service is delivered by trainee counsellors and psychotherapists who receive regular clinical supervision from experienced practitioners registered with the UKCP and BACP.
Sessions are available for £5 or £7 and take place in the confidential, welcoming setting of our practice rooms at 1 Trim Bridge.
To enquire about the Low-Cost Counselling Service, please contact Jess Orlik on 07734 392212 or email lowcostcounselling.bcpc@gmail.com.
