Our history

While Nottingham Counselling Service as we know it today was established almost forty years ago in 1977, we have roots in Nottingham reaching back as far as 1875, when we existed as the Charity Organisation Society.

Today, we have grown to become one of the leading providers of therapy and support for adults living, studying, and working in Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands.





We plan on serving the community for many years to come.

If you would like to help us support the community for another 40 years, please donate!
