Welcome to Counselling Plus Community
Counselling Plus is a charity which offers confidential counselling to people aged 16 years plus, in the local area, at such times of stress, change, pain or loss. One of our main aims is to provide an affordable service for those on low income or living on benefits.
Referral Update - April 2022
We are now able to offer face-to-face counselling as well as remote sessions (Tel/Zoom/Skype). Assessments will continue to be undertaken by telephone.
We continue to ask all attending the service to be COVID-aware and arrive only five minutes before session to reduce numbers in the waiting room.
We are unable to allow anyone to wait on the premises.
