About us
Petersfield Counselling Service (PCS) offers affordable counselling to adults who are experiencing difficulties and would like to talk with a counsellor. Difficulties may include loneliness, anxiety, depression, employment worries, relationships, family issues, loss and bereavement, stress, emotional, sexual, and physical abuse. We offer short or long term counselling and ask clients to make a donation which is within their financial means. PCS is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and our counsellors work within the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
Training, qualifications & experience
All our counsellors have undertaken professional training to at least Diploma or Degree level. We also offer placements to carefully selected students who are in the final stages of their professional training. Petersfield Counselling Service is a professionally run independent and confidential service founded in 1987. The charity is governed by a Trustee Board who are members of the local community with experience in caring and clinical professions.
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.

Additional information
As a commitment to counselling we ask clients for a weekly donation towards therapy based on income and what is affordable. As a charity we rely on donations from the local community, however, no-one will be refused help for financial reasons. Our guidelines suggest a minimum donation of £20 but we are also able to offer concessions to those who are not able to afford this amount.
