Cork Counselling Services

The Counselling Centre at No 7 Father Mathew Street in the heart of Cork City, has been providing affordable community counselling for nearly 25 years. Clients who visit the centre, some of them young children, come for many reasons e.g. bereavement. sexual or institutional abuse, depression, domestic violence, crisis pregnancy, illness, panic attacks and anxiety.

Our Mission

Our mission is to ensure that counselling is available to everyone in the community, regardless of ability to pay, sex, religion, background or sexual orientation. Clients can often only afford to pay €1 or €5, which means that we have to subsidise the remianing costs through income from our Training Institute and fundraising.

Support our Run Against Suicide fundraiser with the Evening Echo Minimarathon

Our Schools Suicide Prevention project works with Transition Year students.  Using creative materials and media such as chart songs, graffiti walls and real life stories, counsellors support students while they raise the issue of mental health, encourage ways of expressing difficulties; looking at the risk factors and triggers to watch for among friends. They also look at the impact of suicide on family and friends. Most importantly the explore what to do and where to turn if feeling isolated and depressed.
