Community Counselllng Trustees Report l(ontlnued) Year to 31st May 2021 In the year 2020121 we assessed 130 dients and on average our team of 26 counsellors was seeing 90 clients per week. Al the start of the Covid pandemic we were able to move rapidly to working rern0te, either by Zoom or by telephone. Our counsellor5 took the BACP course How to do counselling online.. u coronavirus primer, to familiarise themselves with this new way of working. Ten student counsellors completed their placements with us and quallfled and of these, five moved on to work elsewhere. We are grateful to those quallfied counsellors who continue to volunteer with Lbs. We were able to offer placements to six new counsellin8 Students and took on one more qualifled coun5ellor. Flnanclal revlew and lunds Community Counselling continues to support clients who are unable to meet the cost of counselllnB charged by private prartitioners. We have been able to keep our fees low Im05t dients pay £10 per session) and we aim to be able to support a few clients who are unable to pay at all. One of our counsellor5 raised £12,OtKI through the philanthropy department at her workplace and the Charities Ald Foundation.
