We are a team of 40+ volunteers, we are a mix of qualified counsellors, trainee counsellors, committee members and admin volunteers.
"Side by Side Counselling aims to provide local people with a safe and peaceful environment where they can build confidential, therapeutic relationships.
We support individuals in their journey of self-discovery through a non-judgemental, person-centred approach. Our goal is to empower each person to develop the confidence and ability to make their own life choices.
As a counselling organisation, we offer consistent support and unconditional acceptance throughout this process. We are also committed to improving access to counselling within the local community by welcoming both qualified and trainee counsellors, supporting their growth and professional development."
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step — but you don’t have to do it alone. At Side by Side Counselling, we offer a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly and be heard without judgement.
We provide counselling for anyone aged 17 and over, and you are welcome to bring whatever is on your mind — no issue is too big or too small.
