The Counselling and Family Centre

The Counselling and Family Centre CFC - by your side 'for whatever life throws at you'. Counselling is for anything that is troubling you.

We offer counselling from the age of 5 onward, as well as learning, support groups, and training for well-being in the work place. We can help you to make better sense of what’s happening in your life – all you need to do is pick up the phone, email or call in at the Centre

You are not alone – in Britain each year around 1 in 4 of us will experience emotional and mental health problems

We offer counselling to adult individuals, couples, families, and to children and young people from 5 years old. Additionally we provide support for families affected by addiction and parents affected by pregnancy and birth issues. Beyond counselling we provide self improvement courses and workshops for all, and training workshops for counsellors and health professionals. We have helped people through loss and bereavement, anxiety and stress, panic attacks, low self esteem, relationship problems, redundancy, domestic violence and abuse, depression and low mood……and many, many more problems. Let us help you to discover more about yourself and your inner strengths, sort out your needs and priorities, make decisions, accept what can and cannot be changed, find more effective ways of coping and decide what’s really important for you – you will never be judged or criticised.

When people share their experiences with us, it’s a reminder of why the work we do matters.

This recent testimonial speaks about finding respect again, learning to understand one another, and discovering new coping strategies that changed not just a relationship, but a sense of self. Moments like these show how powerful counselling can be when life feels heavy or stuck.

At CFC, we’re here to support you through whatever you are facing. Whether you come to us alone or as a couple, our counsellors offer a safe, calm space to explore what’s going on and find a way forward that feels doable.

If you’ve been thinking about reaching out, we’re here. You don’t have to carry things on your own. https://www.thecfc.org.uk

If you’re hosting in December, share the load. Ask everyone to bring one dish or help set the table. It’s more fun when everyone chips in (and you’re not chained to the oven).

We have been fortunate to receive a lovely donation from Nicky Lever who helped organise the third annual Brian Lever Memorial Backgammon Tournament which took place on Brian’s birthday at The Bridge, Prestbury, and we’re delighted to share that it was a great success.

A huge thank you to our volunteer Nicky for organising the tournament tombola, baking the most amazing cakes, and so thoughtfully choosing CFC as one of the beneficiaries of the tombola's proceeds.

Thanks to Nicky’s hard work, energy and kindness, and the generosity of everyone who took part, the event raised sufficient funds to include £450 for CFC. This will go towards a new laptop which will facilitate mental health community collaboration.

We’re so grateful for the time, care and heart Nicky puts into supporting our charity.

When everything around you shifts into “holiday mode,” it’s easy for your usual routine to disappear. Try keeping some small bits of structure, like regular sleep, meals, or a bit of movement. It can give you a sense of grounding when everything else feels a bit all over the place.

Let this be the month you give yourself permission to feel what you feel without judgement.
