Feelings Matter Counselling service aims to provide professional therapy and counselling at an affordable price.

The issues that we can work with are:

  • Anxiety and Panic attacks
  • Depression and Low Moods
  • Bereavement and Loss
  • Self Esteem and Confidence Issues
  • Eating problems
  • Personal Development
  • Trauma (childhood and recent)
  • Relationships (work, family, friends, romantic)
  • Sexuality concerns
  • Suicide Ideation
  • Self Harm
  • Gender Dysphoria
  • Anger Management
  • Sexual assault and rape
  • Personality Disorders

This low cost service will work hard to  keep the fees as low as possible for clients whilst maintaining support of the training of therapists. The service will work towards a system that ensures that therapists do not suffer financial hardship and we can attract therapists from all walks of life.

Member organisations *

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

We have verified that at least one professional at this organisation is registered with the relevant professional body.
