The Service provided a place where people|| |||||could come and speak about their problems
in a|| |||||confidential
setting.
Our fees via donations
mean that it is|| |||||affordable to members
ofthe public who would struggle|to| |||||pay the professional
going-rate.|| |||||Due to Covid meeting
restrictions,
some ofour|| |||||counselling
sessions were online, especially
in the earlier|| |||||months of2021. We continued
to offer both online and|| |||||in-person
sessions throughout
the year.|| |||||We provided
fortnightly
supervision
to our volunteer|| |||||counsellors to advise, support and direct them
in their|| |||||work. This supervision
was given by a qualified|| |||||counselling
supervisor;
their fees paid for from Hope|| |||||Counselling
Service funds.|| |||||We provided a placement
for counselling
experience for|| |||||five trainee counsellors.
We continue to be a Service|| |||||where trainee counsellors
apply to work with us and|| |||||appreciate
the support we give them during their training.|| |||||A number oftrainees stay with us to work as counsellors|| |||||after they have completed
their training.|| |||||We offered six 6-week courses on the subject of "Building|| |||||Resilience
in Challenging
Times" to the members
of the|| |||||public on our waiting
list, with appreciative
feedback on|| |||||the help this gave individuals,
waiting to see a counsellor.|| |||||We receive referrals from the NHS Talking Therapies,|| |||||local charities,
community-support
organisations,
faith|| |||||leaders, etc. We also have students
who are studying|| |||||locally applying
for counselling.
In this way we provide|a| |||||service to the community.|| |||||In the autumn
of2021,we dosed our application
process|| |||||for two months as our waiting
list was getting too long.|| |||||Our experience
indicates that,
in being an avenue for|| |||||relief, progress,
hope and restoration
forthe individual|| |||||coming for counselling,
the benefits can extend to that|| |||||individual's
family, colleagues,
friends and community.|| |tructure, Governance|and Ila|nagement||| |---|---|---|---|---| |Description
