Counselling Service

The following schemes have been set up by Jesus Fellowship Community Trust to provide a contribution towards counselling costs for past and present members of Jesus Fellowship Community.

The Schemes can be accessed by contacting the relevant email addresses below. You can ask someone to do this on your behalf if you would prefer. You will then be emailed a referral letter, to be given to your chosen counsellor, and a covering email explaining how the payments are made.

Confidentiality is of the utmost importance. Therapists are asked to refer to clients only by the code given on the referral letter, and on the Scheme’s log system users are recorded by that code number.

We will never request any details or information from a therapist and will respect their code of ethics.
