COUNSELLING IN THE COMMUNITY 

Counselling in the Community is a mental health service offering adult, children and young persons' counselling to Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde. These are areas where it can be difficult to access mainstream services and private counselling can be costly. CITC offers help with a self referral and donation based counselling service.
