Release - Counselling For The Community
About us
We offer counselling to individuals over 18, couples and families. We offer low cost counselling to those on benefits or with low incomes, and have a sliding scale for those who are able to afford more. Counselling can be for an 8 week short term contract, or up to a maximum of 2 years longer term contract.
Training, qualifications & experience
All our counsellors are either fully qualified or in the later stages of their training. We have a range of experience and qualifications, and are an Organisational Member of BACP.
Member organisations *
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
