Established

The seeds for Beacon were sown in 1987. Beacon is a well-established counselling service considered a prestigious organisation within the North West counselling network. The fact that it is a registered charity, staffed by a team of qualified volunteer counsellors and students on placement does not detract from it being professional in its administration and procedures.

Our Aims

1. To alleviate mental and emotional distress by providing free and accessible counselling services as possible to the time of need.
2. To provide placement opportunities for students working towards professional qualifications thereby ensuring services are sustainable for the future.

Our counselling services are open to people aged 16 or above; there is no upper age limit for counselling at Beacon. We value diversity, promote equality and inclusion.
