Safeguarding, privacy, and professional standards

At Riverside, we’re committed to giving you the best support possible. Our counselling services are accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and all our counsellors work within their Ethical Framework. This means you can trust that our counsellors are not only highly trained but also deeply committed to supporting you with integrity and professionalism.

Equality Statement

RCS was founded in 1989 to provide access to affordable counselling for all those in the community, regardless of background or circumstances. We recognise that discrimination operates consciously and unconsciously in our society, which means some people have greater access to opportunities than others.

Our core belief is that all people are treated with dignity and respect and we are creating an organisation where inequalities are challenged, and we anticipate and respond positively to different needs and circumstances.
