We are an independent, local community charity

Our story

The Counselling Partnership is an independent, local community charity. We are committed to improving mental well-being by providing professional, affordable one-to-one counselling to adults facing a variety of difficulties. 

Since 2002, we have helped adults struggling with depression, bereavement, anger, stress, anxiety, abuse, loss, phobias, post-traumatic stress, relationships, self-esteem, trauma and work or career-related issues.

In a time of increased cost of living and long waiting lists, we are here to help everyone access professional mental health and well-being support they deserve.

The Counselling Partnership is an organisational member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and as such we follow its Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions and its Complaints Procedure. Counsellors are members of the BACP or UKCP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the UK Council for Psychotherapy).
