I would like to access counselling

Thinking of exploring counselling? This downloadable leaflet gives a bit more information about what to expect.

You might be selling sex at the moment or have done in the past. You may need a space to talk through and process your experiences and the impact they have had on you. Counselling at Orchards offers a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space, where you can bring whatever you need to talk about and be heard. We can offer an initial 6-12 sessions to start with and your counsellor will discuss whether more sessions may be helpful beyond this. We tailor counselling to each individual and want you to get the most from sessions. Orchards counsellors are all trained in working with trauma and are members the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), adhering to their Ethical Framework for best practice.

To access counselling with us, you will need to complete a short referral form to tell us a bit more about yourself and what you are looking for from counselling.

To find out more about making a referral please email us at: counselling@orchardsuk.org. We will get back in touch and talk you through the next steps.
