If you are experiencing difficulties we would love to hear from you here at the centre. We can offer one-to-one confidential counselling service, within a safe, non-judgemental environment which allows you to begin your story where you wish.  Life doesn’t always provide us with the right conditions so building a relationship on trust, empathy and honesty is paramount to us here at The Project. Any enquiry regarding one to one counselling is confidential. We always suggest an initial assessment to discuss your needs and check that you and the counsellor are compatible to work together. There is no obligation to continue. …
