Borderline Counselling Services
We are a registered charity that was originally set up in 1996. Borderline is well known in the area, having provided counselling for thirty years, forming excellent working relationships with local GP surgeries, mental health services, charities, local churches, and other organisations.
At Borderline we work collaboratively as a team of counsellors, sharing best practice and ideas for CPD training. Collectively, we are a diverse team of practitioners that bring together a wealth of experience. Each member of the team has their own approach and way of working, which also conforms to the professional standards of the counselling regulatory bodies, as well as the ethical integrity and values of Borderline.
Mission, Values and Principles
Motivated by faith and the ethics set down by professional standards, we are committed to the care and compassion of all clients.
Our vision is to improve the overall health and wellbeing of people in Cumberland and reduce health inequalities.
Our key principles are:
- To recognise and where appropriate address the emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, and physical needs of the individual
- To offer an inclusive service of counselling and training
- To provide a user-friendly resource centre
- To continually improve our service
