Couples

The Hope Street Centre provides counselling and therapy services to parents of children who are involved in care proceedings. We receive referrals from the Local Authority social work teams, Solicitors, Children's Guardians, Clinical Psychologists and the NHS.  Some parents choose to refer themselves.

We are able to work in a variety of ways with parents, some of whom have already had children taken into care, others are working towards avoiding that happening or need support after their children have been returned. We are able to work with fathers and mothers individually, or we can see then as a couple, whichever is more appropriate.
