This service is free of charge and operates on a referral basis, although not necessarily on a medical practitioner basis as with Social Prescribing. As the name suggests it is a personal one on one service offering counselling to people with tier one and two problems.
Our counsellors are final year students operating under the supervision of Southern Regional College in association with University of Ulster. Overseen by a fully qualified counsellor we are able to offer this service free to clients and delivered in a community setting.
It goes without saying that all counselling sessions are strictly confidential.
The service is a notable example of community based programmes that are at the disposal of our social prescribing project. This is by no means exclusive to social prescribing. With all the stresses and worries of current living our counselling service in is sharp demand.
