Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
The preservation and promotion of good health and well-being for the benefit of the public by offering a counselling service based on the christian ethos to anyone over the age of 14 years, in an effort to relieve emotional and mental suffering. The provision of ongoing development training to qualified counsellors and those working towards their professional qualification to help further this object and the establishment of other services linked to the prime objectives when a relevant need and adequate resources are identified.
The charity's main activities
We are a charity committed to supporting individuals suffering mental health and emotional difficulties within the local Brighouse community and throughout Calderdale. We endeavour to be accessible to all who approach us offering a compassionate service, tailored to an individual’s need in an environment where mutual respect and courtesy are demonstrated by both counsellor and client.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of health and education).
Achievements and performance
During 2021/22 we along with many organisations transitioned out of the covid pandemic and were able to return to ofering a face to face counselling service which is the core of our work
Our in-house counselling service provides clients with a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space in which to explore stressful and/or distressing experiences. The clients we work with are often struggling with high anxiety and the coping tools and strategies they learn during counselling sessions can be life changing. In 2021/22 we have provided 1104 sessions of counselling to 69 clients. In the past year we have worked with calderdale cares partnership to provide counselling to key workers
In January 21 we recieved funding and were able to expand our telephone support service offered to any one who contacts us though the help line and includes those on the waiting list for counselling. It enables people to offload their worries whilst they wait for more consistent support from a counsellor. This service is invaluable especially for those who are suicidal, and the clients we talk with have expressed how grateful they are to have someone who will listen in a compassionate and nonjudgemental way.
The work we do at Rastrick High School is for young people aged 14+ and offers students a safe place for them to be heard as themselves, away from their peers and the pressures of adolescence and social media. For many young people, this environment is their only reprieve in difficult circumstances both at home and at school. This work was funded by a grant from the Brighouse Jigsaw Festival

Our placement counsellors include students from Leeds Beckett, Huddersfield University and Leeds City College. They must gain 100 hours one-to-one counselling experience to fully qualify as a counsellor. At The Turning Point, we support the students in both a professional and personal capacity. The Turning Point supports college work, client work and personal challenges to enable the students to achieve their potential and offer the best possible service to our community. We also offer our counsellors specialist training e.g., supporting those struggling with sexual trauma and working with people facing financial difficulties. In 2021/22 we had 15 volunteer counsellors 10 of which are trainees.
