Gloucestershire Counselling Service (GCS) specialises in providing counselling and training counsellors to professional standards.

It was established in 1980 to offer affordable, open-ended, in-depth counselling in Gloucestershire. All clients are assessed at the Centre and allocation considered carefully. There are now over 60 part-time counsellors and over 220 people use the counselling service each week. All counselling is regularly supervised on a weekly basis. Experienced senior staff, seminar leaders, tutors and supervisors ensure the high standards of training and practice with which GCS has become associated.
