East Belfast Community Counselling Centre was created to help fulfill a need in the local community, to provide a vitally-needed counselling service for adults who might otherwise be excluded because of finance or shortfall in service provision. Prior to the service being set up in there was no other dedicated counseling services in East Belfast, apart from counseling offered by local churches. As a charity we believe that everyone should have access to high quality counselling irrespective of their ability to pay.
The counselling service is open to anyone regardless of whether they are male or female, whatever their sexual orientation, ethnic origin, culture or religion, so long as we feel their needs can be met.

Counselling gives you the opportunity to explore aspects of your life and accompanying feelings without fear of being judged. Sometimes bottled-up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief, shame and embarrassment can become very intense. A counsellor is trained to listen to you and accept your feelings. Many people who come for counselling gain a renewed self-respect and a sense of being valued which in turn helps them to feel accepted and respected as a person in their own right.
