About Us
Space 2 Talk Counselling Service is a social enterprise. We have a team of fully qualified and experienced counsellors. Our service is tailored to individual client needs in terms of how many sessions that can be provided. We aim to offer appointments in a timely manner and at a time and day to suit you.
We aim to make our service affordable. We reinvest surpluses to subsidise initial counselling sessions to individuals and to reduce the cost of sessions on an ongoing basis for people in financial difficulty. As a not-for-profit organisation, however, we aim to subsidise longer-term sessions as people often require more than 6 sessions and not everybody can afford to pay the full fee.
The philosophy behind offering a free, no-obligation, initial counselling session is to demystify the counselling process, so you can experience it for yourself to find out whether it is helpful to you.
There can be stigma in our society about asking for psychological help, compared to the US where it is more socially acceptable, so by removing the financial barrier, this may help to widen access to counselling. We are a privately-run counselling service, (although we can't offer counselling which is free at the point of service as we do not receive any funding from the government) and this enables us operate a discreet and confidential service (which often useful for people who do not want their employer to know they are having counselling).
