Cairns Counselling has been dedicated to providing counselling to the people of Aberdeen city and the surrounding area since 1994. As a well-established service, we are trusted by many professionals and have a long history of enabling change.

It is our mission to give understanding, support and compassion to adults in need across the Aberdeen area. Through the provision of counselling we aim to encourage, empower and enable our clients to grow and live more fulfilling lives.

We registered as a trust with OSCR in 1994, and became a SCIO in 2014. Established to provide emotional support to adults in need, our service has grown from humble beginnings to the present day where we are open 6 days a week including 3 evenings. We are proud to have been given the Queens Award for Voluntary service in 2016. As a well established service, we are trusted by many professionals and have a long history of enabling change.

We currently have 25 volunteer counsellors who each provide between three and six counselling sessions per week and 2 volunteer administrators to assist with office cover on an ad hoc basis.
