Counselling & Family Support In Potterton
Rainbow Rogues supports children, young people, adults and families in the village of Potterton with open access counselling and family support, available online and in person.
What Kind Of Support Are You Looking For?
Pick an option to see how it works. You do not need to know exactly which one applies to you before getting in touch.
Support That Starts With Understanding
Living in a small village should not mean a smaller choice of support. Families in Potterton can access the same open access counselling and family support offered right across Aberdeenshire.
Online sessions work well for many Potterton families, with in-person appointments arranged in Balmedie, Belhelvie or Aberdeen when that is the better fit.
Accessible
Support should be easy to reach when people need it, without unnecessary barriers.
Person-Centred
We listen to each person's experiences, needs and strengths.
Family-Centred
We recognise that families often need practical, emotional and community based support.
Child-Centred
We create safe, understanding spaces where children can feel accepted and supported.

Potterton At A Glance
Getting Started Is Easy
You do not need to work out exactly what you need before getting in touch. Simply tell us what is going on and we will talk through what is available.
Get In Touch
Tell us a little about what is going on, in your own words. There is no need to have it all figured out first.
We Listen And Explain Your Options
We talk through what support is available, including part funded or fully funded sessions if you meet the relevant criteria.
Choose What Works For You
Support can be arranged in person or online, at times that fit around school, work and family life.
Support That Adapts
We check in as things progress, so support can flex as circumstances change rather than following one fixed plan.
Prefer To Talk It Through First
You are welcome to get in touch before deciding anything. We can explain current availability, session options and whether any funded support may be suitable for your family in Potterton.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your question is not here, get in touch and ask. We would rather answer it now than have you put off getting in touch.
Do I Need A Referral Or Diagnosis?
No. Community Counselling and Family Support are both open access. There is no referral, diagnosis or threshold assessment required before getting in touch.
How Much Does Counselling Cost?
Standard counselling is £60 per session. Where funding allows, part funded sessions are available for £30, and a limited number of fully funded sessions may be available for people who meet the relevant criteria. You do not need to work out which option applies before contacting us.
Is Family Support Only For Families With A Diagnosed Condition?
No. Family Support is for any family who needs someone to listen, understand their circumstances and help navigate the challenges they are facing, whether or not a diagnosis is involved.
Can Support Be Provided Online?
Yes. Both counselling and family support sessions can be arranged online as well as in person, so support fits around your family rather than the other way round.
What Ages Do You Support?
Counselling is available for children, young people and adults. Family Support works with whole families, including parents, carers and siblings.
Do You Offer Anything For Children To Attend Themselves?
Yes. Alongside counselling and family support, our Connect & Grow groups give children with additional support needs the chance to take part in inclusive activities and build confidence with others.
Does Potterton Have Its Own In-Person Appointments?
Potterton is a small village, so in-person appointments are usually arranged at venues in Balmedie, Belhelvie or Aberdeen, alongside online sessions for families who prefer to stay at home.
Ready When You Are
Whether you need counselling, family support, or simply someone to talk things through with, Rainbow Rogues is here for you. No referral needed, and no need to wait until things feel impossible.
