Counselling Information Trust (registered charity)
Email usAbout us
Counselling Information Trust is a registered charity. We used to be known as Alliance Counselling.
We are able to offer free or very low-cost counselling to people who cannot afford private counselling.
We have been in existence for over 8 years now, working from peaceful premises in Ashley Cross.
We see adults and young people (minimum age 16) and we also work with couples.
When you contact us, either by phone or email, we will arrange an initial assessment for you and that will enable us to decide if we think we are the best place for you, otherwise we will help you find somewhere more suitable.
We initially offer short-term counselling but there is also the potential to work longer term if we believe this would help you.
The counsellors who work for the service are very carefully chosen and we aim to provide the best possible service to our clients. As well as supervision for the counsellors there are also regular in house training sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
All counsellors in the service are appropriately qualified and CRB checked, they are all members of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and receive regular supervision from BACP accredited supervisors.
