BRIGHTON & HOVE COUNSELLING SERVICES (FREE & LOW COST)
 Due to the COVID 19 situation, most of the services listed are operating remotely, using telephone or
   video call. Please contact the services directly, or check their websites, for their latest updates.
                                             All content is taken from the organisations’ own material.

Mind in Brighton and Hove is unable to recommend any particular counselling service and you are always advised to confirm costs and services with the
organisation concerned. Note that services sometimes have a waiting list and there can be changes to how services are delivered, so please do check
directly with any agency you wish to use. This list is a guide to local services only. We also suggest that you check the qualifications, supervision and the
ethical principles of any service you contact.

There are three sections:

   •   General Services (page 2) - organisations that offer low cost, free or discounted counselling with flexibility to discuss any topic – please do check with
       the organisation to confirm the services provided.
   •   Specific Topics or Client groups (page 5) – organisations that offer low cost, free or discounted counselling which is subject specific (e.g. counselling
       services for Young People, or, for people affected by Drugs and Alcohol issues ).
   •   Directories of private counsellors and therapists (page 20) – organisations that offer online searchable directories of counsellors and therapists, who
       may or may not offer free, discounted or low-cost service – please check with the relevant service to confirm what they offer.

                                                                                                             Updated 2021 Page 1 of 30
