After 23 years of unparalleled support to Portsmouth City citizens and those in the surrounding area, Government funding has been withdrawn. The center will close unless a miracle occurs. Portsmouth Counselling Service (PCS) needs a fraction of the £780,000 per day Government spends on anti-depressants.

IN 2015 PCS provided 2474 general counselling and assessment sessions. The service is very cost effective; counsellors are trained volunteers, who are qualified and largely accredited.  PCS ensures counselling is accessible and affordable to all irrespective of race, gender, social or financial circumstances, and for those that don't fit the criteria for other services.  Individuals suffering social isolation, at risk of exclusion with marginalised lives are able to access counselling and make real changes to their quality of life, significantly reducing the impact on statutory services and the community.
