Each year, the volunteer team at The Leicester Counselling Centre contributes many hours to support individuals within the communities of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to improve their mental health and wellbeing.
We know the far-reaching difference that our counselling support makes, not only to the individuals accessing our service but also in strengthening relationships within the client’s family and wider community networks. In recognising this ripple effect, we understand that our impact can also be long-lasting, as families and communities become more cohesive and self-supporting.
Our monitoring and evaluation shows that our clients make significant improvement in their mental health issues, typically with a reduction in the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Other area of improvement include interpersonal relationships, self esteem and confidence, reduced loneliness and isolation, improvements to living conditions and improved education and employment prospects.
We believe that our tailored approach, which recognises our clients’ priority needs, makes the biggest difference to the effectiveness of the support that we offer.
