Making Counselling Accessible to All
Counselling in the Community (CitC) is a warm and welcoming local charity in Blackpool, Wyre and the Fylde, dedicated to making mental health support accessible to everyone. We understand that accessing mainstream services can be challenging, which is why we offer confidential, non-judgmental therapy at an affordable cost.
Our Services
Our experienced and qualified counsellors provide individual therapy sessions to children, adolescents and adults. We offer a range of therapeutic approaches, including:
- Person-Centred Therapy - focusing on building a strong therapeutic relationship and supporting you to find your own solutions.
- Pluralistic Therapy - tailoring our approach to your needs and utilizing various techniques to best support you.
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) - learning to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours that impact your life.
Finding the Right Support
We understand that every individual is unique, so we offer sessions with counsellors who have diverse backgrounds and expertise to ensure you receive the best possible care. Our services are tailored to your individual needs, and there is no age limit for our support.
Our Commitment
At CitC, we believe that access to mental health care is a fundamental right. We are committed to providing a safe and welcoming space where you can feel comfortable sharing your concerns and exploring your challenges. Our team of dedicated professionals is here to support you on your journey to mental well-being.
