Who is the service for?
The Family Project offers counselling to families who are experiencing
difficulties. These may stem from changes in family life such
as separation, divorce / remarriage, developments within stepfamilies,
illness, loss or bereavement. Or there may be worries about
how to support a troubled adolescent, a child experiencing bullying
or a child or young person in the family finding it hard to
make friends or become more independent.
We work with families in a wide range of circumstances, including
those who can't pinpoint an obvious cause for their difficulties
but who are nevertheless worried and finding it hard to share
their feelings and talk things through. The Family Project
counsellors offer a confidential space where families can
meet to think about and talk through their concerns.
How to get help
We operate an appointments only system and any member of the
family may contact us on 01453 766310. Calls are answered
between 9am and 3pm when our administrator will take your
name, telephone number and a time when it would be convenient
for a counsellor to speak to you in person. At other times,
messages can be left on an answer phone and will be dealt
with as soon as possible.
The cost of counselling
The Family Project is a subsidiary of GCS and is non-profit
making; we receive no financial support from Government or
NHS Trusts. We aim to provide our service to those in need
irrespective of income, but those using the Service are expected
to contribute towards the cost of the service according to
their ability to pay. The cost of the family counselling initial
session is £45 and ongoing sessions are £35. Please
note these fees are negotiable in case of hardship.
The initial session
Following the 'phone call, an initial meeting will be arranged
which provides the opportunity to explore your concerns and
think about the best way forward.
