Individual counselling at the heart of the service.
The Epsom Counselling Service (ECS), providing individual and couple counselling and therapy in Epsom, commenced in 1999. Its aim to offer affordable, easily accessible counselling and therapy in a confidential and safe environment.
The ECS is situated in the centre of Epsom in our rooms within the Methodist Church complex in Ashley Road, providing counselling and therapy to all members of the community whatever faith, personal belief or denomination.
We continue to offer individual counselling at the heart of our service, offering support to clients in difficulty. Additionally, the practitioners can offer psychotherapeutic help especially if client and counsellor choose to develop their therapy, looking deeper at issues that may come to light.
The ECS provides a counselling and therapy service to Epsom and Ewell, though clients often come from further afield; Banstead, Chessington, Kingston, Sutton, Esher, Cobham, Leatherhead, Ashtead, Redhill, Reigate and Dorking.
Clients seek counselling and therapy for a wide range of difficulties some of which are listed below:

As part of the wider range, at the formal end of the services available, ECS also offers couples counselling .
For qualified and ’in training’ counsellors the ECS offers seminars and workshops toward continuing professional development (CPD certificates provided), offering affordable support within a professional environment.
About Us
The counselling team is led by experienced, qualified, professional practitioners who are accredited members of the UK’s leading counselling regulatory body, the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
The team members are qualified or are in their last years of training on a BACP accredited training course, leading to either an advanced diploma or degree in Integrative counselling. The Epsom Counselling Service is proud to have retained its strong links with the counselling faculty at Kingston College, a leading counsellor training establishment in the South East. All team members are regularly supervised by experienced, senior BACP or UKCP accredited supervisors.
The Epsom Counselling Service is pleased to be working in association with East Surrey NHS through their Primary Care services, First Steps and New Thoughts.
Seminars, lectures and workshops are run either ‘in house’ or by invited guest speakers, practitioners and health professionals.
