Accessible Counselling

Bridging the gap between free services and the private sector

Believe in Beyond CIC supports women across Gloucestershire by bridging the gap between free services and the private sector, increasing access to professional counselling and mental health support for women who might otherwise be unable to afford it.

£25standard counselling fee per session

While our standard counselling fee is £25 per session, we are able to offer funded and reduced-cost spaces for women on low incomes, receiving benefits, or experiencing financial hardship. Grant funding and community support allow many women to access counselling at low or no cost.

No woman is excluded because of cost. We actively remove financial barriers so that support is accessible, inclusive, and fair, because every woman deserves the opportunity to heal and move forward with hope.

Mission Statement

Moving beyond, with hope, strength and purpose

We support women who have experienced abuse in any form but are no longer in the crisis phase of their recovery.

Our mission at BIB is to empower women to move beyond their harmful experiences and reclaim their lives with hope, strength and purpose.

We provide a compassionate, safe and supportive space where women can rediscover their inner strength, rebuild trust and thrive in all aspects of their lives.

Together we create a community rooted in empowerment where every woman feels valued, connected and inspired to believe in a brighter future beyond the challenges of the past.
