Carers In Bedfordshire
Counselling
If you are a carer or have been a carer, you may experience many emotions – anxiety, guilt, sadness, fear, anger, to name just a few. Counselling can help you work through these emotions in a safe, confidential environment.
How do I access counselling?
You can access counselling through the NHS via the Bedfordshire Wellbeing Service, who provide both group and individual counselling, to private providers.
We are pleased to be working with the Counselling Foundation to assist carers with any counselling needs.

We have been working to support people since 1974 and we are committed to making counselling training and counselling services accessible and affordable.

How many sessions will I need?
Counselling is a process, and it takes time and consistency to work effectively. You are likely to need at least six sessions initially, after which your counsellor will review what’s right for you.
