Riverside Counselling Service is a registered charity that had been providing a professional, affordable counselling service to the local community since 1989. Riverside offers counselling to adults and young people from the age of 12. We are committed to providing an accessible service across the community relying on donations and grants to support us. Counselling is about listening to you, giving you the time and space to talk about your difficulties in a safe, confidential, non-judgemental environment. It allows you to think about your situation, explore issues, and find ways of managing your problems. Riverside’s counselling services are accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and all our counsellors work within their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. Our counsellors are highly trained and committed practitioners.
