Ryedale Brief Counselling Service

The waiting list for this service is now closed due to demand.

We will update here and on our social media channels when we re-open the list.

 

We offer an initial assessment and up to eight counselling sessions (we do not charge for sessions but as a charity welcome donations) for individuals, aged 18 and over, living in Ryedale, with a wide range of issues, such as (this is not a complete list):

​

• 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).

​​

We ask that clients let us know if they 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.

​​

Clients can either self-refer - or be referred – using the referral form on this website.
