We have some positive news to share: our Counselling Service waiting list has significantly reduced, and we’re now able to accept new referrals from Monday, 1 December 2025. 

We understand how vital it is for carers to have someone to talk to—especially when life feels overwhelming. Our counselling sessions offer a safe, confidential space to explore your feelings and develop strategies to support your wellbeing. 

Here’s what you need to know: 

  • Free sessions for carers in Bristol and South Gloucestershire 
  • You can self-refer or ask a professional to refer you 
  • Support is via telephone or online only.
  • Places are limited, so we recommend early referral 
     
    Your wellbeing matters just as much as the care you give. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
