Welcome
Welcome to Kerith Counselling service. We are located in the village of East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, easily accessible by bus and train services.
Kerith Counselling Service is a registered charity (no: SCO 32200) established in 2001 by a group of people with a vision for meeting a need in their local community. We are available to everyone aged 18 years and over, irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, religion, or ethnic background.
What do we stand for?
We aim to deliver the best service possible to our clients. Our priority is to value each client’s unique individuality, and with skill, care and compassion enable them to find a way forward towards wholeness, and restoration, reduced confusion, and a return to making decisions; as well as an ability to look to the future in an attitude of hope.
Our clients are assured of:-
- Confidentiality
- Counselling regardless of gender, race, religion, age and sexual orientation.
- A professional service at minimal cost. £18 for initial assessment and £10 for each subsequent hourly session. Assisted places are available for those who are unable to make a financial contribution.
Dedicated Workers and Volunteers
Our service is made possible by a team of 20 committed volunteers. Workers and volunteers serve as:
- Counsellors
- Management Committee
- Administration and reception duties
All of our counsellors are trained to a nationally recognised standard, and have gone through a rigorous selection procedure. They receive regular supervision by suitably qualified Supervisors, and are committed to continuous professional development. Three of our counsellors are in the process of working for BACP Accreditation. Our senior counsellor and Director is MBACP (Snr Accredited) with more than ten years experience as a counsellor, and seven years as a Supervisor.
