Our trained counsellors see clients with a wide range of needs ranging from addiction, anxiety, bereavement, depression, emotional and psychological issues, redundancy, fears and phobias and couple counselling.
You do not have to be a Christian or practicing any faith to access our service. All of our counsellors are experienced in working with people from a wide spectrum of faith backgrounds to those of no faith.
Our counselling fee is currently £45.00 per session. Face to face sessions are held at our site in South Croydon in Surrey. A session lasts an hour, unless the client has made a different agreement with the counsellor. At Birdhurst Counselling, we want our service to be accessible to all including those who cannot afford the full fee, for instance those on low incomes or dependent on benefits. For this, we have a counselling bursary available.
