A confidential counselling service based in Inverness.

Service update June 2024: 

General one-to-one adult counselling: Due to very high demand for our counselling service, we are limiting the number of referrals we are able to take at the moment.  We are currently only able to add you to our waiting list if you meet one of the below criteria:

  • You or your partner are expecting a baby or have a child aged 3 or under

OR

  • You live in the vicinity of  our Merkinch Outreach Hub and are able to attend face to face sessions on Monday mornings

If either of these criteria applies to you and you’d like to refer to the service, please email inverness.counselling@crossreach.org.uk.
If these criteria don't apply to you, please be assured that we will continue to review our ability to take on new referrals.   Please continue to check this page for the most up to date service status.

Counselling for children and young people: 
Due to very high demand, we are currently unable to take on any new referrals to our children and young people counselling service.  We will continue to review our ability to take on new referrals, so please keep checking this page for the most up to date service status.

If you require immediate support, please either contact your GP, NHS 24 on 111; the Samaritans on 116 123 or Breathing Space on 0800 83 85 87.

Our donation-based and fixed-fee services
We offer a donation based counselling service. There may be a waiting list for this service. At the start of your therapy, we will ask you if you can make a contribution towards your counselling. 

CrossReach is a registered Scottish Charity, and we rely on the generosity of our clients and supporters to fund our Counselling Services, with each counselling session costing £50 for us to deliver. We ask that you only donate what you are comfortable with and can afford, and we never turn anyone away if they can’t make a contribution. You can donate by cheque, cash or via BACS on a weekly basis or as a one-off. Any donation that you can make towards your sessions makes a big difference to us, and it’s a great way to invest in the future of your mental wellbeing.

We also offer a Fixed-Fee service at £50 per session. Not only does this service have great benefits for you – fast and flexible access to counselling with one of our qualified and experienced counsellors – it also helps fund our donation-based service, so we can provide counselling to those who might otherwise struggle to access support. Your first session will normally be arranged within two weeks and we recommend you are able to pay for a minimum of 6 sessions. To find out more about this option, please contact the team.

If you have any questions or want to make an appointment, please get in touch.
