Objectives, strategies and activities
The principal purpose of the charity is promoting, for the public benefit, psychological and mental health. Wessex does this by providing counselling to those suffering from psychological or emotional illness or distress and by training people to be psychodynamic counsellors and psychodynamic psychotherapists.
The trustees would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of everybody involved in Wessex Counselling which has enable the service to continue to offer counselling and training during the pandemic.
Counselling
We provide both long and short term professional low-cost psychodynamic counselling to clients aged 18 and above with a wide range of emotional problems in our premises in Bath, Bristol, Street, Frome and the surrounding area. The counselling service is accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
The global pandemic has continued to have an impact on the counselling service. We have continued to offer sessions remotely though returned to offering in person counselling in September 2020. This was when it was safe for both counsellors and clients to do so. Referrals gradually increased during the year and over the year we were working with an average of 78 clients. We ended the financial year seeing 75 clients paying an average fee of £24.73.
We also have supported 17 clients who have applied for a counselling bursary. We have allocated a totalled of£3268 to support these clients who face financial difficulties to help them cover the cost of their counselling. It is vital that when a client is experiencing financial difficulties they have support in place to help them with the issues they are experiencing.
The trustees agreed to transfer £5000 from our reserves in July 2021 to the counselling bursary so that Wessex could continue to support clients in need.
The Key Centre scheme which we have operated has come to an end though clients living in the Keyford area of Frome are eligible to apply for our assistance from our main counselling bursary.
We continue to offer a discounted assessment fee to clients on low incomes.
Training
During the year we have offered a wide range of training opportunities including running three Introduction to Counselling Skills Course, an Intensive Foundation Course, a year long Foundation Course, a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling, and a Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Course. We also offered a series of successful continuing professional development workshops, some of them on Zoom, to our own graduate counsellors and other therapists. The courses are well supported, and we have applications from students prepared to travel considerable distance to undertake the trainings we offer.
Our Psychotherapy course is accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and our Diploma course is accredited by both the British Psychoanalytical Council and the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. This means that our training is rigorous, externally accredited and of

the highest standards. The team also ensured that we have continued to meet the requirements of our accrediting bodies. We have been able to recruit applicants for our training courses and have a full complement of trainees starting in September 2021. The success of our training courses is a key element of the ongoing success of the organisation. The trustees also allowed the training team to invest in new equipment to ensure that the quality of the training we deliver remotely is of a good standard.
Each year in November we hold a graduation evening combined with our Annual General Meeting where the organisation comes together to review the year and celebrate with people who have successfully completed their course. This year we celebrated 28 people graduating from a variety of courses.
Youth Space Project
Youth Space continued to enjoy a collaborative relationship with Children In Need as we entered into the final year of the three year project. The Children in Need funding has enabled us to offer free counselling to children in Frome though it will come to an end in September 2021. We also receive £2000 from Youth with a future to offer counselling to Young People and we have used some of the funding to support young people who do not live in Frome but in the surrounding area.
We returned to working in person with our Youth Space clients and had 32 referrals during the year and offered 26 young people counselling. Many young people who seek our support find school difficult and this has been made worse by the additional anxiety that can be generated about the covid pandemic.
Staffing
There have been some changes to our team during the year and we acknowledge our gratitude to the following people for the expertise, dedication and skills they have bought to the organisation. Although some of them are leaving roles within the organisation they are continuing to do other work for us for those who have left Wessex Counselling and we wish them well for the future.
Chris Davies Resigned as Head of Clinical Services Cathy Lyall Resigned as Diploma Course Lead
Fund Raising Donations and Bursary Funding
Our trainee and associate counsellors generously gave approximately 1250 voluntary counselling hours over the year. This represents a financial benefit to Wessex of £14375 for which we are extremely grateful. It is important to recognise that without the support of the local community and our counsellors we would not be able to continue offering low cost counselling. We would like to acknowledge our gratitude to the following people and organisations who have contributed time and or money to Wessex Counselling.

Benefit for the public
Wessex Counselling was set up to provide affordable low-cost counselling to people in Bristol, Frome and the surrounding area and in conjunction with this to train psychodynamic counsellors and psychotherapists. By running a vibrant training service, we can subsidise the counselling we offer. We can offer a limited number of places to people on low incomes to enable them to have six months counselling at the reduced rate of £10 per session. We continue to raise funds as well as allocating funds from our reserves in order to subsidise the counselling we do to keep the service affordable and available to people in need. We also offer subsidised assessment sessions to prospective clients on a low income
British Psychoanalytic Council Membership
As a membership organisation of the British Psychodynamic Council (BPC) we have a growing body of qualified psychodynamic counsellors and psychodynamic psychotherapists registered with the BPC through Wessex. With our recently qualified counsellors and psychotherapists becoming members we now have 55 members affiliated to Wessex. This body of members is important as we are committed to developing a community of registered psychodynamic counsellors and psychotherapists who work together to maintain professional standards and support our aim to provide professional low cost psychodynamic counselling. During the year members had the opportunity to attend a regular reading group.
Friends of Wessex
The organisation continues to be well supported by its body of Friends of Wessex Counselling. The Friends are kept up to date with news, events and job opportunities through newsletters which are sent out three times a year
Results and Reserve Policy
Despite the impact of the pandemic this has been a successful year for the counselling service as we continue to provide low-cost counselling to people in need and a well-regarded training programme. The result for the year shows a surplus of £21,833 which is an increase on the surplus of £16,359 for 2020. The money held in our general fund stands at £140,307.
The trustees have developed a reserves policy based on the amount of money required to close Wessex Counselling over a six-month period and honour our commitments to our clients and counsellors in training. At the start of each financial year the organisation looks at its liabilities and obligations for the following year and calculates what funds are required these figures are then reviewed on a quarterly basis. We have calculated that £81212 needs to be held in permanent reserve to cover this.

During 2020/2021 we have been negotiating a lease for a new premises in Frome. The Trustees have been ring fencing reserves to cover part of the increase in rental costs for the next 3 years which is a total of £15000. As we are intending the building to have disabled access for both trainees and clients we are setting aside a further £15000 towards the costs of equipping and furnishing the new building. It is anticipated that the service will move into the new premises at the end of 2021.
Trustees
The Trustees who held office during the year were:
Chair of Trustees – Dr Christopher Ellis Secretary - Anthony Perry Finances - John Christopher Sledge Sarah-Jane Tillard Andrew Pullin
Statement of responsibilities of the Management Committee
The trustees who are also the charity trustees have prepared financial statements for the financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and any other irregularities.
The trustees confirm that to the best of their knowledge there is no information relevant to the independent examination of which the examiners are unaware. The trustees also confirm that they have taken all necessary steps to ensure that they themselves are aware of all relevant examination information and that this information has been communicated to the examiners.
Independent examiners
Geoff Archer of Bristol Community Accountants CIC was appointed as the charitable company’s independent examiner during the year.

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st August 2021 which are set out on pages 9 to 17.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1 Basis of Preparation
- a) These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (issued on 16 July 2014), as amended by Update Bulletin 2 published in October 2018, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
-
b) The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charitable company is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
-
c) The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
2 Accounting Policies
- a) Income from donations is included in income when these are receivable, except as follows:
i) When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods.
ii) When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-conditions have been met.
-
b) Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
-
c) Expenditure is allocated where the costs relate directly to that activity. Support costs have been allocated on the basis of the resources used on the particular activity.
-
d) Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
-
Office equipment - 25% straight line
Furniture - 10% straight line
-
e) Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charitable company. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charitable company which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charitable company's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charitable company.
-
f) The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
-
g) The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charitable company during the year.
