Evolve is a mental health charity providing affordable counselling and related services to employees of organisations and also those in Cambridgeshire and surrounding counties who either can't afford to pay market rates or wait for a GP appointment, ensuring a lack of funds is no barrier to getting help.
With a reputation for quality of service, we enjoy exceptional feedback from our clients. All of our counselling members are experienced counsellors with BACP, UKCP or NCS or equivalent professional registration.
Evolve is a membership organisation; membership of the CIO is restricted to trustees and persons who have applied and been appraised as having sufficient training, personal therapy and experience to counsel the Charity's clients. In accordance with the constitution, Members are entitled to appoint and remove trustees, receive the annual accounts and vote on any proposed amendment to the constitution.
The Charity delivers high quality counselling through professional counsellors. Its areas of operation include Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, South Lincolnshire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
Counselling services to individuals aged over 18 years of age, and mental health training and awareness sessions are provided to organisations on a contract basis; clients include NHS trusts, large not-for-profits, local councils, and corporates of all sizes. The surplus from these contracted services allows the Charity to support those who could benefit from counselling but cannot afford the cost of fees charged by counsellors in private practice or wait for NHS care. Counselling sessions are provided on a sliding fee scale, dependent on client income.
