About the service

Our aim is to provide affordable, high quality, professional counselling for people in Herefordshire.

We want to reach anyone in Herefordshire who feels that talking treatments may help overcome personal distress

Who we are

MCS Counselling Service is part of Herefordshire Mind, offering talking treatments to those individuals living in Herefordshire suffering emotional distress.

Talking treatments help to overcome emotional difficulties and free you from self destructive ways of feeling, thinking and behaving.  They work by providing an opportunity to talk in a way which assists you to understand how to work out ways of living life in a more positive and constructive way.  This way of changing life is very different from using drugs, such as tranquillisers and anti-depressants, which are often prescribed to people who are emotionally distressed.

Medication if often very useful for people with emotional distress and talking treatments are often used to complement treatments, which are prescribed by your doctor.

Medication for emotional distress changes your mood by affecting the chemicals in your brain, but they do not help you deal with underlying problems, which cause your distress.

We offer a variety of therapies to suit your needs.  These may be of a short, long or open-ended duration.
