Ryedale Brief Counselling Service

This is a free service but we welcome donations.

 

Please do not apply for this service if you live outside of Ryedale

as we are unable to accept your referral.

​

We offer an assessment and 8 counselling sessions for adults aged 18+, living in Ryedale, who are struggling with a range of issues such as:

​

• mild to moderate anxiety

• mild to moderate depression

• anger management issues

• bereavement, and other types of loss

• the emotional impact of physical illness, health problems or disability

• relationship difficulties

• significant life changes

• work-related stress. 

​​

​​Please note that the counselling service is provided by trainee counsellors on a placement.

 

All of our trainee counsellors are undertaking approved training courses and have been signed off as fit to practice. They have also undergone a rigorous recruitment process before being offered a placement at Community Counselling. Trainee counsellors are fully supported during their time with us. The triage assessment is conducted by a qualified and experienced counsellor to ensure that we are the appropriate service.

​​

As well as face-to-face sessions at Stanley Harrison House, we can offer clients remote counselling (online or over the telephone).

​​
Pease let us know if you have any access/mobility issues as our rooms are located on the first floor.  There is a lift but there are still a few steps to negotiate, so we may need to make alternative arrangements.

​​

We prefer clients to make their own referrals using the referral form on this website. Experience has shown that clients who self-refer have a better understanding of the service we offer and are more likely to engage and show up thus limiting missed sessions and enabling us to see as many clients as possible.
