About us
Are you struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties or life changes? Network Counselling offers affordable, confidential counselling for adults aged 18 and over.
Our person-centred ethos is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in each person's capacity for growth, self-understanding and positive change, and we aim to provide a warm, respectful and non-judgemental space in which this can happen.
We are open to everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, culture, faith, beliefs or background. We also recognise that spirituality can be an important aspect of human experience and welcome this into the counselling relationship where it is meaningful to the individual.
Our team of over 50 counsellors can support a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, low self-esteem, low confidence, relationship difficulties, loss and life transitions. If you are unsure whether counselling with us would be right for you, please get in touch.
Sessions last 50 minutes and take place weekly and clients can access up to 24 low-cost counselling sessions.
Network was established in 1986 with a vision of making counselling accessible and affordable for all. While our organisation was founded on Christian values, today we provide an inclusive service for people of all faiths and none.

Training, qualifications & experience
Since 1986, Network has supported around 10,000 clients and helped train hundreds of qualified counsellors who have gone on to work across a range of settings.
Today, Network is a well-established counselling and training organisation and an organisational member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Our counsellors, supervisors, trainers and students work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework, ensuring high standards of professional and ethical practice.
Member organisations *
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.

What our clients say:
“The sessions really helped me through the worst months of my life… I can’t thank my counsellor enough.”
“When I began coming to Network I was feeling utterly desperate, desolate and despairing… nine months later I was a transformed person.”
“I wasn’t sure about counselling but Network counsellors made me feel relaxed and allowed me to talk openly and really help myself.”
“Before I started my counselling I felt in a very lonely place. I found it almost impossible to accept myself and I often felt depressed. I never thought I could turn my life around, but with the help of my counsellor and Network I have achieved a lot of things…. I don’t think these things would have happened for me without Network. Finally I can say now that ‘Yes, I do like myself’ “
“Very easy to relate to my counsellor, she had such empathy and brought out the real me that had been hiding for so long.”
“When I was going through bad times I felt so safe and comfortable coming into Network, the welcoming atmosphere gave me confidence to improve myself – Thank You.”
