CoCo 
Counselling in Communities
An affordable counselling service for adults and young people over 16
Pay towards counselling for others

Sometimes it isn't easy to talk about difficulties we are going through, even with people we are close to. Often we feel like we don't have anyone to turn to for emotional support and need someone to listen to us. Speaking to a counsellor may help. A counsellor is professionally trained to help us explore and understand what we are going through without giving any advice, criticism or judgement about any situation.
Payments range from £5 to the full fee of £45 per session. However, we want CoCo to be accessible to everyone in the community. It is our policy never to turn anyone away if they are unable to pay.
We also offer a full fee paying service (£35-£45) which supports our affordable work. CoCo is a small community-based organisation that relies on client payments, so clients who are able to pay for their sessions help us keep this service running.
Counselling in Communities (CoCo) is a safe and confidential space for all adults over 16 to access one-to-one counselling with a trained and qualified counsellor. Please contact us if you feel that it may help to speak to someone about personal or professional challenges that are affecting your lives.

We offer support in areas such as:

•Relationship difficulties
•Unemployment, homelessness
•Bereavement, loss or pregnancy
•Isolation, anxiety, depression or stress
•Self-confidence and self-esteem
•Abuse or violence
•Childhood issues
•Workplace issues
Once you contact us we will make a note of your contact details and reasons for contacting us. All information will be stored securely and will remain confidential. An initial appointment will be made to discuss whether counselling may be helpful to you, your availability for regular sessions and what payment you are able to make. 
If you would like to go ahead with counselling, you will be offered a weekly 50-minute session on an agreed day and time every week for up to 12 weeks. If the times you request are full, you will be put on a waiting list and contacted when they become available.
