We offer professional Christian counselling in Staines

Please do not hesitate to contact us during this challenging time, call 07549 878874

Our confidential counselling service is open to anyone who would like a place to work through issues and challenges they are facing. We deal with many issues ranging from bereavement, depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, and challenging life choices. We offer an approach to counselling, within a Christian ethos, which seeks to help individuals resolve their difficulties. Clients can be of any faith or none and will be able to determine whether or not issues of religious belief form part of the dialogue.

Counsellors will encourage individuals to explore possible roots to their problems as well as help the individual to find potential solutions including any resources available to them to assist change. Counsellors are non-judgemental, and will not impose solutions but rather respect the autonomy of every individual.
​
We want to help you
If you are willing to be open and honest and take personal responsibility for yourself, we are here to stand alongside and help. We aim to provide you with a safe and confidential environment where you will be free to talk through any issue you may have. You will first meet with a counsellor for an initial assessment which will give you the opportunity to explain your problem and discuss your hopes and goals. After having the counselling process explained to you, you can choose whether you wish to enter into counselling at that time.

An initial assessment
An initial assessment will be arranged where you will be able to talk through your expectations and learn more about the counselling process. Together with your counsellor you will then decide how to move forward in the counselling.

Fees
The assessment and all subsequent counselling sessions will be based on a sliding scale and will be discussed at your initial assessment. 

How to Book
Please contact the counselling service directly on 07549 878874.. Please leave a message and one of our counsellors will return your call (if you do not receive a reply, please feel free to call the shop number). Sessions are held in our private rooms at the centre during opening hours (Monday – Saturday 10am – 5pm).
