Our Waiting List is now open for DAYTIME counselling with our one of our trainee counsellors. Most of available counselling times are daytime appointments at the moment. We are not accepting applications for evening only appointments.

PF is a small charity counselling service; we rely on client’s making donations towards the cost of their counselling sessions. We work with clients with a mild to moderate mental health issues. Our counsellors offer their time on a voluntary basis. They are either professionally qualified to at least diploma level, or in training with an accredited institution.

PF Counselling relies on your generous donations to keep our service accessible and affordable for all. Due to rising operational costs, we have introduced a suggested minimum donation structure, effective from 1 April 2025

The suggested donation structure will be:

We offer high-quality counselling services through our skilled counsellors, making professional support accessible to those seeking help with life’s challenges. Whilst private counselling in Edinburgh typically costs £60 or more per session, we believe quality mental health support should be affordable.

It was a scorcher of a day for the half marathon. Gary and his supporters raised whopping £950 for PF. This was despite having acquired an injury, which slowed him down. When I thanked him Gary for all the hours of training, prep and fundraising he said:

'Thanks again for allowing me to represent your fantastic charity'

Our supporters make such a difference towards making counselling at PF accessible and affordable. On behalf of everyone at PF we are offering a huge thank you to Gary, and our other runners Emily and Jonas, for their amazing fundraising this weekend.

Here are some photos of Gary's day.
