Our vision
We aim to show God’s love by offering counselling to people in need within the local area, who are finding it hard to cope with psychological or emotional challenges. Our counsellors seek to help people, regardless of their beliefs or financial situation, to find solutions and discover new hope for the future.
About New Hope
New Hope Christian Counselling is a registered charity (No. 1141104) and has been successfully delivering support to a broad range of clients in the local community for over 8 years. We provide a confidential face-to-face counselling service to people in need from a wide range of backgrounds and for many issues including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. We offer a variety of counselling models including Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic and Integrative.
We offer our service to anyone in the local area who feels they would benefit from counselling, and we will not refuse anyone counselling based on an inability to make a financial contribution. There are no set fees for counselling, but we operate a donation system whereby clients are asked to give what they can afford. We operate within our Christian Ethos and are affiliated to the Association for Christian Counsellors (ACC), however those of any or no faith can access our services, and there is no faith content to the counselling unless this is something the client particularly wants to discuss.
We keep our costs low by relying on volunteer counsellors, all of whom are either qualified to diploma or degree level, or are trainee counsellors with a minimum of two years’ training. All counsellors are registered with a national counselling organisation such as the ACC or the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).
We are a well-established and respected charity locally, partnering with other organisations who deliver services to the poor in the area.
