Community Counselling

About us

We are a church-based Counselling Service in Salford, offering non-judgmental counselling to everyone whether you profess a faith or not. We are all fully qualified, professional counsellors and members of the professional body the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their Ethical Framework.

Sessions are offered face to face, or Zoom, or by phone depending on what is best for you.

What is counselling?

Most of us at one time or another experience situations that we find difficult to cope with. Sometimes we get to a point where we can’t see any light at the end of the tunnel and this is where we believe counselling can help.

Counselling:

  • offers a safe space to get to know yourself a little better
  • helps you explore your thoughts and feelings
  • helps you consider your options
  • helps you to accept the things you can’t change

Counselling does not:

  • give you advice
  • tell you what to do
  • judge you

Who are we?

We are all qualified counsellors offering a Person-Centred approach to therapy, and we are also registered on The Counselling Directory.

We are experienced in dealing with a wide range of issues. These include depression, anxiety, bereavement, low self-esteem, anger issues, abuse, work related stress and relationship issues.
