|Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year|||The service returned
to face-to-face sessions for most clients.
It
remained
essential that both client and practitioner
felt safe with the
delivery
method,
either on-line or in person,
always ensuring
that the
service maintained
its high professional
standards.
Some supervision|
||||sessions are still conducted
remotely.|
||||Two training
courses for counsellors
were arranged
during the year as|
||||part oftheir continuing
professional
development.
The first was entitled|
||||'Working
with the Inner Child' and the second 'Exploring the Shoreline',|
||||also covering
practitioner
self-care and resilience.|
||||The number ofsessions for 2022 were very similar to the previous year.|
||||1,453sessions were delivered
to 101clients and ofthese 54 finished|
||||their counselling
during the year. (In 2021 1428sessions were delivered|
||||to 88clients). Tellingly,
the cancellation
rate has returned
to pre-|
||||pandemic
levels and stands at 15%.|
||||The number
of counsellors
has fluctuated
between 15and 20 with an|
||||average of17working
with the service over the year. There is a notably|
||||higher turnover
ofcounsellors,
with replacements
constantly
being|
||||recruited to begin their training
to replace practitioners
moving
on to paid|
||||employment.|
||||By the end ofthe year, the waiting
list was reduced to 3clients awaiting|
||||assessment
and 24 clients awaiting
counselling.|
||||Only
1 ofthe quarterly
Trustee meetings was conducted
remotely,
the|
||||rest were in person.|
||||Strategically
we continue to seek to develop the service to meet the|
||||increasingly
complex needs ofclients, and to remain financially|
||||sustainable.|
||||Towards the end ofthe year, we bade farewell to Di Taylor, a founder|
||||member ofthe Service harking
back to the early nineties,
and for many|
||||years leading
it as our Clinical Manager.|
||||Testimonies
from clients include:|
||||'Ihave been given the space and time to explore myfeelings,
to hear it&
experience itasItold my story. Ihave felt safe, heard &valued'.|
||||My counsellor
has given me grounding
techniques
to help me when Iget|
||||anxious,
helped me take back control ofmy mental health
by putting|
||||'|
||||boundaries
inplace with certain relationships.|
||||"The counsellor
has been very supportive
and has given mepositive
ideas ".|
||||"The service has been a very good lifeline andIdon 't know where I
would be now without
being able to talk to someone. Iwill never forgetit
and once again thank youfor bringing back my life to me ".|
