We are thrilled to share the story of our year at Counselling for Social Change (C4SC). Our mission is simple: to help you move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling empowered. The report for 2024/2025 shows just how much genuine, life-changing support has taken place here.
Finding Your Way Forward
When you start counselling, you’re often carrying a heavy load. Our data confirms this: when people first came to us this year, they were typically struggling with significant emotional strain.
But that weight doesn’t have to be permanent.
Through dedicated sessions with our skilled counsellors, we saw powerful change happen. On average, clients finished their time with us feeling dramatically lighter, moving from a place of deep difficulty to a place of mild distress—ready to take on life again.
This wasn’t just a minor shift; it was a fundamental change.
Real Results, Real Relief
We use a simple check-in form (the CORE-10) to help track your progress, and the numbers tell an incredible story of recovery:
92% of respondents felt significantly better than when they started.
71% experienced a major, lasting improvement—the kind of change that transforms daily life and resilience.
Our goal isn’t just to help you cope; it’s to help you feel fully and authentically yourself again. We focus on creating a supportive relationship where you can access your own strength and resources. That successful movement toward self-discovery and well-being is why so many clients finish their journey feeling empowered and ready to lead their next chapter.
The Heart of Our Work: Trust and Support
Therapy is effective because of the relationship you build with your counsellor. We are intensely proud that our clients consistently rate this experience as exceptional.
Using our feedback form, clients gave their counsellors an average score of 18.99 out of 20. This shows an incredible level of trust and support, meaning clients felt:
Heard and understood.
Confident in their counsellor’s guidance.
Aligned on their goals for the therapy.
Our clients’ own words capture this best:
“My counsellor has been incredible. She has supported me through a life-changing year. My sessions with her will live in my heart forever, so many moments of magic.”
“My counsellor has been absolutely amazing. I feel seen & heard and receive insightful reflections that challenge my perspectives… I look forward to finding out who I am beneath the surface….”

We provided 3,077 hours of support this year, and for most clients, the therapeutic journey came to a natural, positive close.
