Our Community Clinic is a low-cost counselling service for adults (age 16+) who are experiencing mild to moderate mental health distress. 
 
Sessions are delivered by trainee counsellors on our Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychological Therapy and offered either in-person at an available First Psychology venue across Scotland or online for those who prefer to work in this way. 
 
All counsellors working within the community clinic have a PVG certificate registered to First Psychology and work within the ethical framework of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). They receive regular supervision from a First Psychology approved practitioner to ensure the quality of their clinical work. 

This service is suitable for...

• those who can commit to a fee that is affordable for them when attending weekly (this may range from £5 to £25 per session) and which must be paid in full in advance or immediately following each counselling session. 

This service is NOT suitable for…

• those with complex needs or severe mental health difficulties. 
• those in crisis or needing an emergency service.
