1-2-1 Counselling York

About

1-2-1 Counselling is a York-based charity dedicated to improving mental health by offering short-term, face-to-face counselling to individuals in York and surrounding areas. Our mission is to make emotional support accessible to everyone, regardless of background or income. We operate as a donation-based service, allowing those in need to access professional care without the burden of high costs.

At the heart of our work is a team of experienced, professionally trained counsellors. Each counsellor is a registered member of a recognised professional body, such as the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This ensures that our service meets high ethical and professional standards, offering clients a safe and respectful therapeutic environment.

We understand that life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, loss, low self-esteem or the impact of a significant life event, 1-2-1 Counselling offers support when you need it most.

Services

Face-to-Face Counselling
We provide up to seven sessions of one-to-one counselling, held in-person at our private rooms located either in Tower House, Fishergate or the Quaker Meeting House, Friargate. These sessions are generally scheduled for the same time and day each week to create a stable and consistent support structure.

Our service runs Monday to Friday and is intended for individuals living in York or nearby. Each session offers a confidential space where you can speak freely, explore your feelings, and begin to make sense of your experiences.

Counselling is suitable for people facing a wide variety of emotional and psychological challenges, including:

• Anxiety or depression

• Stress related to work, relationships, or health

• Grief, bereavement, or loss

• Low confidence or self-worth

Whatever your reason for seeking help, our trained counsellors are here to listen without judgement and support your journey toward emotional wellbeing.
