Each year we grant Top Non-Profit Badges to agencies based on these criteria:
Our aim is to guide our users to agencies most likely to be able to help. In addition to the above criteria we also exercise editorial discretion with our choice based upon our experience. We take our responsibility and objectivity seriously. We don't accept any form of payment from providers for this honor.
The Counselling Foundation has been providing counselling and training services since 1974. We provide counselling for around 400 clients every week at our centres across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire and via remote platforms. Alongside our counselling service, we provide training and professional courses for approximately 400 people every year.
Both our training and our clinical services are accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and we have a reputation for high academic and professional standards.
We believe that well-trained counsellors can support individuals to safely explore their feelings, beliefs, thoughts and behaviours, including their cultural and personal histories. We believe that talking in a safe environment can bring understanding and relief to psychological and emotional suffering
In- Person Counselling
Our counselling centres provide an affordable counselling service to people in our local communities and beyond. We aim to make counselling accessible and affordable by offering a reasonable fee structure. All of our counsellors are professionally trained and their work is supported by accredited clinical supervisors.
You do not have to be in crisis or on the verge of one before choosing to seek counselling. Counselling is for everyone who feels they would benefit from a safe and confidential space to talk.
Some of the concerns we often work with are:
- Abuse
- Anxiety
- Bereavement
- Depression
- Relationships
- Stress
- Trauma
We operate a sliding scale of fees according to your annual household income, from as little as £5 a session. This enables us to offer low cost counselling to those with more limited income.
