General information

Listening Post is a professional voluntary counselling service, Christian in foundation, that was formed in 1991 years ago to relieve emotional and psychological distress in Christians and non-Christians alike. We are an organisational member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and work within their Ethical Framework. We provide counselling for anyone over 18, regardless of financial status, gender, religion, sexual orientation, race, colour or ethnic origin.

We serve any resident of Gloucestershire, including those who might otherwise be financially prevented from accessing professional counselling support. Private counselling can cost up to £50 an hour – a cost that many people desperately in need cannot afford. Unlike private practitioners we do not charge a set fee for our services. All we ask is that, based upon individual means, our clients make a donation per session.

If, as a client, you draw support from Christianity or any faith and want that to play a part in your counselling we work within the context of your faith. If you wish to work without reference to any religious beliefs, you are equally welcome. A Listening Post’s counsellor’s professional concern will be to gain an understanding of how you see yourself and of what distresses you, and then work with you to determine how you can best be supported.

We have three counselling centres in Gloucestershire, located in Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud. You are welcome to contact any of our centres about counselling; other enquiries are best made to our main office in Gloucester.
