Counselling and Psychotherapy

Marches Counselling Service (MCS) offer a professional and confidential service, helping people based in Herefordshire who are experiencing distress. 

MCS was founded to make to make counselling and psychotherapy accessible to all. Including the opportunity for long-term therapy work where needed. 

Our clients pay for the therapies we provide, however, as a not-for-profit service we make every effort to ensure that this is affordable. Client contributions help us sustain our service.  

 

How it works

An initial assessment enables a deeper consideration of our client’s situation where we discuss possible ways forward which will meet their needs, and match clients to an appropriate counsellor. 

The assessment and subsequent therapy sessions can take place in person or online.

Please get in touch if you would like to find out more.
