Counselling

We do not have access to NHS funded counselling services at present. However the organisations below can often offer either free or low cost services. If you are working you may find that counselling is offered through your occupational health department.

If you are UWE student, counselling and psychological services may be accessed through university, to access please follow this link: https://www.uwe.ac.uk/life/health-and-wellbeing/get-wellbeing-support/counselling
