BEFRIENDING or COUNSELLING?

A FREE SERVICE... for Befriending:

BUS-STOP offers a FREE Drop-In Service to the general public, some who may be suffering from Stress or Upset and just need to talk to someone and be heard.  We offer a listening ear to those who need to offload and perhaps share their grief, or sadness, or worries.  

This is a FREE service!!!

We rely on Charitable Donations to keep the service operating.   And as a Charitable organisation, it is manned mainly by volunteer student counsellors, and or qualified counsellors.

This is considered to be Crisis Listening, or Emotional Support and it is called simply Befriending, This is a Free service.  However, this part is not 'in depth counselling'.  'Counselling' is usually done on a regular weekly basis, to address specifically deeper seated issues. 

For deeper longer term Counselling or Psychotherapy you will need to be in a formal contract.

Please NOTE!

FORMAL CONTRACT COUNSELLING - This is 'NOT FREE' and requires a formal agreement which is by referral and supervised at all times.  This is also financially 'means' tested, (depends on your income or lack of it) which will suit everyone's pocket and not be a hurdle to get help. 

We will not turn anyone away for financial reasons though we suggest a minimum donation of £5 per session to help cover our vehicle administration costs for the charitable organisation.

Talk to a qualified Counsellor at BUS-STOP for more details of our service or ask for a pamphlet outlining our services to the general public.
