Community Counselling
Open-access counselling for children, young people and adults across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
No referral, diagnosis or threshold assessment is required.
A safe space to talk
People come to counselling for many different reasons. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low, stuck, stressed, isolated or simply unsure how to make sense of what is happening in your life.
Counselling offers a safe and confidential space to talk about feelings, relationships, family life, school, work, grief, confidence, identity, difficult experiences or anything else that feels important to you.
For children and young people, counselling may also include play, movement, creative resources or sensory tools to help them explore feelings in a way that feels safe and natural.
