The purpose of the site is ultimately to provide the UK with a huge
counselling support network, enabling those in distress to find a
counsellor close to them and appropriate for their needs. This is a
free, confidential service that will hopefully encourage those in
distress to seek help. The website also contains a number of sections
on emotional disorders (types of distress section) and provides some
useful statistics. Every counsellor on the site who has submitted
their profile has either sent a copy of their qualifications and
insurance cover to us, or is registered with a professional body
online with recognised codes of ethics and practice, this way we can
be assured of their professionalism.
