About us
The PF Counselling Service is a registered charity established in 1986 with the vision to enable Edinburgh's citizens to embrace life more fully through the growth, changes and healing that can take place through the counselling process. The service is available to individuals over the age of 18. We offer a professional service regardless of ability to pay, with clients contributing what they can afford.
There is very high demand for the affordable counselling available at the PF. This means we are often closed for new requests while we work through our waiting list.
Please visit our website or social media feeds for news when our list opens.
Training, qualifications & experience
We have over 100 volunteer counsellors who work with a wide variety of modalities and approaches. All our counsellors are either fully qualified or in the final stages of a recognised Counselling or Psychotherapy Diploma qualification.
Member organisations *
COSCA is the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland, and seeks to advance all forms of counselling and psychotherapy and the use of counselling skills by promoting best practice and through the delivery of a range of sustainable services. COSCA Counsellor Accreditation is a pathway to entry onto the UKRC. It is a requirement of all individual and organisational members of COSCA to abide by its Statement of Ethics and Code of Practice and be accountable to the Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
