Open House Counselling

We all need help from time to time. Open House provides a professional, yet FREE, counselling service to young people in Guildford and the surrounding area. All our counsellors have been trained on nationally-recognised courses and receive regular supervision from fully trained supervisors. Open House is registered with the British Association of Counsellors and the Association of Christian Counsellors.

How can we offer a free service?

All our professionally trained counsellors offer their time free of charge – for which we are extremely grateful. Professional supervision, administration and training costs are funded by our Restaurant and Conference service, by grants and donations from the general public.

We are grateful to Surrey Youth Development Service, Guildford Voluntary Grants Panel, the David Williamson Trust, and GlaxoSmithKline for their financial support.

For anyone seeking counselling or who may wish to refer someone, please phone 07932 047778 (leave a message - it will be answered).

Or email either Celia Harrisson - charrisson@guildfordymca.org.uk - or Carol Ann Smithers - csmithers@guildfordymca.org.uk who oversee Open House.
