South Bucks Counselling (SBC) is a dedicated mental health charity that provides affordable, professional, and time-limited one-to-one counselling to people in South Bucks and beyond.

We support individuals navigating a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, bereavement and loss, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, low self-esteem, mild alcohol and drug problems and demanding life experiences. For over four decades, SBC has been a trusted part of the Bucks community, accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

At SBC, we believe that everyone should have access to the support they need. Our clients make a financial contribution to their counselling based on their personal financial situation and, recognising that many individuals are unable to meet the full cost, we actively seek donations and grants to support our operations, ensuring that no one is turned away due to their inability to pay.

We are powered by a compassionate team of 22 volunteer counsellors who generously donate their time, offering 1,500 client sessions annually. Alongside our counsellors, our board of trustees and six part-time staff work on a voluntary or reduced-cost basis to keep our services running efficiently.

Serving primarily the Wycombe district of Bucks and surrounding areas, South Bucks Counselling also welcomes clients from across the county. Most of our clients self-refer after recommendation from their GPs. We take pride in not having a waiting list, enabling us to provide professional counselling when it is needed. Our ambition is to be a centre of excellence for client service and counsellor placement provision, where clients can build emotional stability, and counsellors can grow and develop.
