When we think of Christmas we tend to think of spending time with family and friends, exchanging gifts and houses full of laughter.

However, Christmas is not an easy time of year for everyone, feelings of loneliness, depression, loss and anxiety can be felt more deeply this time of year. Against a backdrop of festive celebration those feelings can become overwhelming and at Willows we often see an increase in demand for our services in December and January.

We provide an affordable service for those in need of counselling support, and we host an average of 60 counselling sessions per week, 85% of which are subsidised to some degree.

Could you donate a star on our Christmas tree and help fund counselling support for those in need?

£5 will fund the administration for processing a new client referral.

£15 will fund a new client assessment fee.

£25 will fund one counselling session for someone in need.

Your donation will have a direct impact on the service we offer, enabling us to reach as many people as possible.

At the time of year when we think about giving gifts to loved ones, could you give the gift of wellbeing and hope to someone in need and fill our tree with stars.
