I would like to welcome you to the Kings Cross Project Counselling service and introduce you to our counselling team. My name is Michelle Oultram the Adult Counselling Co-ordinator our team consists of 5 qualified counsellors and 13 trainee counsellors working towards their Diploma in counselling. Everyone gives his or her services voluntarily.
The counsellors come from a variety of professional backgrounds: social work, health, education, youth and community work. What each counsellor has in common, however, is the belief in and respect for the person being counselled.
The counselling service is unfunded and run entirely by loyal voluntary staff.
Mission Statement
Its overall aim is to provide a counselling service that is safe, professional
and confidential, that complements and enhances the overall services provided
by the Kings Cross Project. In the wider sphere it seeks to work in harmony
and co-operation with other voluntary and statutory organisations. Its core
purpose is to enable and empower clients to live as fully as they choose.
Our Aims
- To be a service of excellence
- To provide a wide range of counselling services which meet the needs of the community
- To maintain client satisfaction through continuous improvement in quality
- To provide a superior counselling service
- To offer our counselling service Free of Charge to the adults within the local community
The adult counselling service is the only project within the Kings Cross Project that is run entirely without any financial support.
We have many agencies that value our service and understand the increased demand within counselling. Agencies refer to us as an alternative to repeated visits to GPs surgeries. Instead of treating the symptoms we treat the cause, which helps the client improve their lives.
