Welcome to Our Counselling Service

Everyone has a unique experience after someone they were close to has died and each person has to find their own individual way through their feelings.
Most of us will experience bereavement at some time in our lives. Whilst every story is unique, many people find it helpful to have the opportunity to talk with someone who will listen and support you as you begin to come to terms with your loss.
Our aim is to serve the whole community, especially those who have not sought counselling before. This would not be possible without the support and generosity of people who give their time and money to help us continue the work we do.
Please contact us to speak to someone who will be able to tell you about the support we can offer. The office is open between 9.30 a.m. and 5 p.m, Mon-Fri.
Many thanks to Wafad at BT Business Connect for his help setting up our new IT system.
