We all experience difficulties and problems throughout life. Sometimes, however, we find coping with these can become challenging and overwhelming. Try our counselling service and talk things through with a counsellor, in a safe, confidential space.
We welcome enquiries from charities, housing associations, community interest companies and other third sector organisations in Dorset about how we can work together to support those in need. We also accept self-referrals.
We are unable to offer the service if you have pending criminal proceedings or court dates. (Family court not included). Please also be aware that issues around adoption are not suitable for our trainee counsellors to work with. We are able to sign post you to an agency with suitable support.
Counselling is delivered either in person or online. Our students study the humanistic method of counselling. You can read more about the theory here

The first thing to do is to complete our contact form.
Our Service Coordinator will then get in touch with you and establish whether our service is suitable via a brief initial telephone call. If we think we can help we will pass your details on to our assessment team who will then take you through a more in-depth questionnaire. This will last for between 45 minutes to an hour and will give you an opportunity to learn more about what counselling can offer and to ensure that what we offer matches your needs. After this you will be matched with a trainee counsellor.
The initial telephone assessment is up to 50 minutes with a qualified counsellor and is charged at a rate of £25. Counselling sessions are £20 each.
If you’re unable to find the answer you’re looking for you can get in touch with us using the details below.
We realise that taking the first step to getting help is often the hardest. Our team are experienced in dealing with a range of issues so why not give them a call. You can also complete the form opposite and someone from our team will be in touch with you.

Redlands Community Counselling Service offers counselling to those in the community who find it difficult to access. The service is provided on an affordable basis, so as not to exclude those on a low income. Counselling is provided by our training students. We also work in partnership with the third sector to deliver counselling to specific client groups. We welcome enquiries from charities, housing associations, community interest companies and other third sector organisations in Dorset about how we can work together to support those in need.
I genuinely enjoyed the whole session. I thought it was fascinating, very helpful and really effective.
This session gave me food for thought on how I can become a better listener
