Counselling
The Hope Community Trust runs a professional counselling service in which
we aim to provide quality outcomes whilst removing barriers to accessing help with a wide range of issues.
All you need to do is contact us and we will meet with you to talk about how we can help you.
At this time, you can work out which of the counsellors may best suit you, what the cost will be, who has referred you and what goals you have.
Our service is confidential, and all information collected is securely stored.
