Marches Counselling Service

We provide a professional and confidential service for people who feel that talking with a counsellor may help them manage difficult times in their lives. The first stage is assessment, the second is meeting a counsellor who has the right skills to help. Initial face to face assessment with an experienced clinician, normally within 7 to 14 days of approaching us.

A form of psychotherapy that facilitates personal discovery, healing and emotional health by combining art making and therapeutic dialogue. The "art" in art therapy is seen as a vehicle of expression. It doesn't require for you to be an artist or consider yourself good at art. What it offers is an way of exploring your inner experience & expressing yourself.

If you feel you would like to support the work of Marches Counselling Service there are many ways to get involved. Individuals providing counselling or psychotherapy within the community who wish to become part of a local network for mutual support are invited to apply and can become involved in various activities.

The last six years have shown us how important it is to respond quickly to emotional distress and offer support to people close to their home. We are aware that sometimes people can find it difficult to come to our main office in Hereford and are unaware that we also use rooms in the market towns. We are continuing work to strengthen our presence in rural areas and make it easier to access our service in South Herefordshire and the Golden Valley.

We are anticipating the retirement of one of our trustees & would like to offer this opportunity for someone with appropriate experience to become involved in the development of our service. If you have skills which you could offer and you share in our ethos of personal and community development, then do contact us.
