Phoenix Counselling Service welcomes referrals for counselling from a trained counsellor, therapist from health professionals, GPs, solicitors and other mental health organisations. Our service is a not for profit service, with a Steering Group acting as a management committee, an AGM or annual general meeting receiving an annual report and accounts, minutes and offering an invitation to the general public to attend. Our service can be accessed from most areas of Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Newham Redbridge, Waltham Forest, London, Essex In these circumstances we are happy to see clients for individual and group low cost counselling, if called for for all issues and problems. Where we are unable to offer help we attempt to refer clients on to more specialist services and we have a full complaints procedure in place as our BACP accreditation demands
