About us

CrossReach Counselling Services, all of which have COSCA or BACP recognition, deliver high quality and effective counselling and support in the community to those struggling with mental health, depression, perinatal depression and addiction problems.

CrossReach Counselling East: Services operate from 3 main centres, Wallace House, Simpson House and Palmerston Place offering a range of therapy: perinatal mental health support, counselling for adults who have experienced trauma, abuse, loss or relationship difficulties, addiction recovery counselling, counselling for children and young people (in school and in community premises) and art and play therapy. CrossReach also operates an employee workplace counselling and general mental health advice scheme.

CrossReach Counselling West and North: Services operate from the Tom Allan Centre in Glasgow, various community hubs and from Inverness and Buckie. The same range of counselling therapy detailed above is provided alongside a range of therapeutic training and support to other charities and organisations. Currently we wish to develop an online counselling platform to extend the reach of our work. Counselling services work closely with a number of partner charities.

Collectively our services work with over 200 counsellors, offering generic and perinatal counselling and therapy five days a week, Monday to Friday. Specific times and days of the week can be found on our website: www.crossreach.org.uk

At CrossReach we offer loving care to people of all ages and circumstance who are in need of a helping hand, supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances.

We have been at the forefront of high quality social care for 150 years. During that time we have worked hard to understand the needs of the people who turn to us for help and with them have been at the forefront of pioneering services which have literally changed thousands of lives for the better.
