Online Counselling & Family Support Across Scotland
Rainbow Rogues is based in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, and our online counselling and family support consultations are available to people right across Scotland. No referral or diagnosis is required to get in touch.
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
Our community counselling rooms, family support sessions and Connect & Grow groups are rooted in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, but distance should not stop anyone from getting a listening ear.
Wherever you are in Scotland, from Edinburgh and Glasgow to Dundee, Inverness and the Highlands, online counselling and family support consultations offer the same confidential, unhurried approach we provide in person.
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.
Who We Support In Scotland
Community Counselling and Family Support are open to children, young people, adults and families, whoever is asking for help.
Children & Young People
Safe, age-appropriate counselling that uses conversation, play and creative resources to help children and young people explore how they are feeling.
Adults
A confidential space for adults managing stress, low mood, grief, relationships or anything else that feels important to talk through.
Parents & Whole Families
Practical and emotional support for families navigating additional support needs, transitions or the everyday pressures of family life.
People Anywhere, Online
Video sessions that offer the same confidentiality and care as in person appointments, for anyone who cannot attend in person.
Scotland 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 Scotland.
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.
Can I Access Support If I Live Outside Aberdeen And Aberdeenshire?
Yes. While our in-person counselling rooms and group activities are based in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, online counselling and family support consultations are available to people anywhere in Scotland.
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.
