Our organisation is registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and our counselling and therapy services are accredited by the BACP.  Our counselling and therapy services work to the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

What we do

What we do makes a difference. From 1-2-1 therapy for people of all ages and genders, to our workforce wellbeing support, our services are focused on preventing and reducing the harm caused by emotional trauma and building emotional resilience and wellbeing. You can see our full range of services here on the website.


Delivery is through practitioners with specialist knowledge and training. Our therapists and counsellors are trained, qualified and registered with the appropriate governing body such as the BACP. Our services are monitored and evaluated against national standards with insights gained from feedback used to continuously improve and develop what we do.


We offer a supportive and therapeutic environment where children, young people and adults, parents, carers and professionals can access appropriate advice and information and explore their experiences through individual and group work. Our referrals process helps us to fully understand each individual situation and match it to the service that best meets your needs – you can see our suite of therapies here

Can you help us?

The demand for our services is ever increasing. We support over 1,000 people of all ages in Cornwall each year through our 1-2-1 services and many more through group and family work and in schools and colleges. The average age of the children and young people we support is 9, and the number of 0-4 year olds being referred to us is increasing year on year. There is a growing need for our ground-breaking work with unemployed adults with complex barriers. 

We are grateful to the funders who believe in what we do and to our local supporters.

There is more work than ever to be done and as with many things, less resources available to do it. If you are interested in what we do and can help us through fundraising or other support, we would love to hear from you.


Feedback

We highly value your feedback on our service. It helps us understand what we do well, where we can make changes to improve what we do and where we can grow in terms of developing our services. You can provide us with feedback here
