Welcome To Off The Record

The Staff

At present the staff consists of a manager, an administrator and two counselling coordinators.

We have a counselling bank of sixteen qualified counsellors.

We provide placements for students who are studying for degrees in counselling at the local colleges.

All counsellors work to BACP ethics/guidelines and all receive both individual and group counselling supervision.

We have counsellors that speak Aisian languages.

A Confidential Service

COUNSELLING

A Counsellor can help you to deal with any feelings you have which are upsetting you. Counselling will give you the opportunity to talk in private about any problems you may have and decide yourself what you want to do about them.

Counsellors do not normally give advice

REFERRALS

You can refer yourself, we also receive referrals from Social Services, Schools, GP’s and other organisations.

THE INITIAL APPOINTMENT

You will be given an initial appointment where you can tell us what you are hoping to gain from counselling and we can give you some information about us. You will then be given a counsellor. You may have to join the waiting list but we will do our best to make sure you can start as soon as possible.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Our Confidentiality policy states that:

"The Personal details of any client and any information divulged will be kept strictly confidential to the Bradford Couselling Service"

However, if you give your counsellor information that someone else is in danger of serious harm, then your counsellor may wish to take some action to prevent this from happening. The matter would be discussed with you first before any action is taken.

If you are under 18 years of age and you yourself are in danger, then your counsellor may wish to take action to protect you.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

Off the Record is committed to providing services to all people regardless of colour, race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or disability. The location of our office prevents us from seeing clients who cannot manage several flights of stairs, but such clients can be seen at the Information Shop for young people.
