I contacted the Waves Counselling Project in Cornwall in 2021 for therapy after suffering with my mental health. 

The WAVES Counselling Project is an award-winning confidential counselling and outreach service provided by specialist trained counsellors.

They provide specialist trained counselling in Cornwall to those who have experienced abuse or domestic violence, regardless of gender, sexuality, age or income.

After signing up with the programme last year, I was finally allocated a counsellor at the end of 2021. 

You can either refer yourself or refer someone you think could also benefit from this service.

Is counselling free?

You are assessed and put on a waiting list that is now slightly less than a year long. You are then offered 12 sessions, and you are asked to pay a small donation from session four upwards, which can be as little as £5 if you aren’t working or are on a low income. 

The donation is discreet, so there is no need to worry about your counsellor or anyone else knowing how much you donated. Counselling is provided countywide via face to face, telephone, and video and is over seven days a week.

Referrals can be made via completing a short form on the website, texting or phoning and leaving a message, sending a message over WhatsApp, or messaging on any social media, including Twitter, Facebook, etc Instagram, and Snapchat.
