Coronavirus Update

 Welcome to Olive Branch Counselling. We are a professional counselling service located in the Chippenham, North Wiltshire. We aim to provide you with a safe, secure and confidential environment in which to address any issues you may have that are causing concerns, with a view to bringing about positive lasting change.

We welcome enquiries from anyone who needs our services regardless of race, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, social background or financial circumstances. Due to need for our service, we always have a waiting list, but we offer one to one counselling for around six months as soon as we can.  

Counselling is what happens in the unique relationship between you and your counsellor. 

It is a confidential space to talk to a trained qualified professional about anything affecting your mental health. 

If you are ready to work through the things that are concerning you, then your relationship with your counsellor will provide you with the opportunity to make progress towards your goals . 

Our counsellors have been trained in a variety of counselling modalities based around long term therapeutic work. 

This may involve looking at how things have affected you in your past to ensure they don't impact your future.

Normally you will need to contact us yourself as we don't take referrals from third parties. You can refer yourself straight away by using the referral button. We will then contact you for an assessment where we will talk about your needs and decide together if counselling with Olive Branch is the right next step for you. Occasionally it may be necessary to refer you on to a different service depending on your needs. 

As a charity we rely on client donations to contribute towards our running costs. This amounts to £35 per hour. Our minimum expected donation is £15 per hour but this can be discussed during your assessment if necessary.
