Compass is here to help if you need us!
Compass staff and our team of amazing volunteers can provide remote sessions to all of our clients. We are currently providing telephone and video counselling to our current clients, as well as new referrals.
Please do get in touch if you would like to refer yourself or be referred to our services and we will go through the process with you and advise you of likely waiting times. We will ask you at your referral if you would prefer counselling via telephone or video. We will aim to let you know what is available at Compass so you can make an informed decision about the best next steps for you.
Please be advised that Compass is putting a pause on new Counselling For You referrals, if you are looking for private counselling at present, we suggest you consider the BACP website – Find a Therapist. Once we are in a position to open to new Counselling For You referrals we will advise.
We are looking to recruit some more student counselling placements in the New Year, please contact ourselves on enquiries@compass-counselling.org.uk if you are interested. Please see our placement page for more information.

We run both Level 2 Introduction to Counselling and Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills courses, with the next Introduction to Counselling due to start in January 2022. Please note that this course is held online.
It will be our intention to host two Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills courses, one daytime and one evening slot to accommodate the significant interest in our courses from September 2022. If you are interested in our courses or training please contact ourselves. It is hoped that these courses will be run face to face but will depend on any restrictions at the time.
We are unable to see any visitors to the service without a prior appointment and this would only be where other options were not available.
Our service is supported by the Steve Morgan Foundation and the Community Match Challenge – part of the governments £750m support package for charities #CommunitiesCan
