Update: Newtown Counselling Services

Against an exceptionally challenging fundraising environment for charities, Rekindle has made the difficult decision to pause taking on new counselling clients in Newtown while we review our capacity and future provision.

Current clients and young people already on our Newtown counselling waiting list are unaffected. We will also continue to accept referrals for:

• one-to-one wellbeing support in Newtown and Welshpool (practical and emotional help with issues affecting a young person’s mental health, including housing, finances, education, employment and relationships)

• groups, activities and drop-in services in both Newtown and Welshpool

• art psychotherapy in Newtown

• counselling in Welshpool

  
  

General referrals to Rekindle remain open. Where appropriate, we will offer a brief initial assessment and help young people explore the Rekindle or external support best suited to their needs. However, please do not make new referrals specifically for Newtown counselling at this time.

We cannot currently provide a timescale for the pause, but we will keep our partners informed. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
