Counselling Service
This confidential and free service aims to help any older person who:
- has a problem which is affecting their personal well-being in any way, their home or family life
- might be feeling anxious or that they’re not coping as well as they would wish – either generally or as a result of a specific incident or set of circumstances
- wants to explore what the future holds for them and wishes to make changes in their life.
Counselling offers the opportunity to talk, express and explore thoughts, feelings and concerns, privately, with someone who will listen, without making judgements. Our professionally trained counsellors will not give advice. Instead, they’ll offer support in finding the most appropriate way to move forward. All counselling sessions are held in a private, quiet, comfortable and relaxed room, within our conveniently located Ashburner Street Centre.
This service is provided in partnership with Beacon Bolton Counselling Service – another established and highly regarded local charity. We acknowledge, gratefully, their support in providing this service.
Appointments for this service can be made by ringing Pat Clark/Sandra Hargreaves on 01204 382411. Please state simply that you would like an appointment with a Counsellor. You will only be asked to give your name, address and a contact telephone number. If you consider it helpful to you, please feel free to give a general indication of the reason for requesting an appointment, but please be reassured that this isn’t necessary.
In order to ensure the confidential nature of this service, and to let you know when the next counselling session is likely to be available, we ask you NOT to use our e-mail address or this web-site to enquire about this service.
