Hope Counselling Dundee

Hope Counselling are a high-quality, not for profit counselling and psychotherapy service working with adults, young people, children, and couples. They believe that people can find hope in even the most difficult circumstances, and believe it is OK to not be OK.

The service is available to people of any faith or none. Hope Counselling counsellors create a safe space for people to bring the complex messy reality of who they are, body soul and spirit, to be understood, helped and supported on the journey towards well-being.
