About Us
We are committed to offering affordable counselling sessions for adults, children and young people in the Horsham and Crawley area. Our team consists of experienced, fully qualified counsellors and some counsellors who are in the latter years of their training.
We have a long-established record of providing this support to local residents and to employees of companies and other organisations within our local area.
Our focus as a service is relational and is on the quality of the relationship between you and your counsellor. Our team can offer expertise within the full range of therapeutic practice and orientations, including humanistic, psychodynamic, integrative and transactional analysis. We work either long or short term as we are led by you. We do not offer couples therapy
What techniques are used?
Our therapists may work using CBT techniques but we currently have no therapists who work purely within a CBT framework. For more information on types of therapy click here.
We also have counsellors specifically trained to work with children and young people as part of our PACT service, more details can be seen here.[JH1]
How are we insured?
Our counsellors are all professionally insured and clinically supervised fortnightly. They also hold Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service checks. We evaluate our work through feedback from clients and using Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluations (CORE).
