TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Call 01285 885 830 and speak to someone to register your interest for counselling - if you want to, you can get a parent, guardian or friend to ring for you.
If you leave a message on the answering machine, please make sure you leave a telephone number that can be used to ring you back.
If you don't want anyone to know that you have rung, then say so, and say how and when you can be contacted. Alternatively e-mail us at admin@cotswold-counselling.org.uk and let us know how we can contact you, or fill in the form below.
​
Due to the high demand for counselling, it is likely to be a number of months before you start counselling. This will vary depending on your availability and other factors, so will be discussed when the Coordinator calls you.

We have a team of counsellors specifically trained to work one to one with primary age children, adolescents and young people who are struggling with their life experience. We provide a supportive place at times of crisis where they can safely express themselves and be heard and understood.
