SYCAMORE COUNSELLING SERVICE

Our aim during counselling at Sycamore Counselling Service is to enable positive change through a professional caring relationship, working within clearly agreed boundaries. Each counsellor has a different way of working depending on their training and model used. All counsellors are members of the BACP and/or the ACC, and abide by their code of ethics.
