We provide a space where we hope you feel able to talk with a counsellor about the difficulties you face in life, with no fear of being judged.

We are an independent charitable organisation.

We rely on donations and the support of charitable trusts to raise enough funds to deliver the service. We offer a donation-based service and encourage those that can afford to contribute to their sessions to donate directly to Cairns Counselling.

Queens Award for Voluntary Service in 2016

We registered as a trust with OSCR* in 1994, and became a SCIO** in 2014. Established to provide emotional support to adults in need, our service has grown from humble beginnings to the present day where we are open 6 days a week including 3 evenings. We are proud to have been given the Queens Award for Voluntary service in 2016. As a well established service, we are trusted by many professionals and have a long history of enabling change.

Update

“ As a result of the sudden closure of Mental Health Aberdeen, the management team and trustees have taken the decision to temporarily change the maximum number of sessions offered from 20 to 10 sessions.

We understand that all client needs will be different and anyone attending counselling with us will have their needs assessed and completion of counselling will be done at a suitable time in agreement with your counsellor. We will always put our clients first and ensure we do the best for them. This change will take effect for all clients self-referring through the website from the 1st September 2025. If you have any questions, please email info@cairnscounselling,org.uk”
