gcs training
Stroud
We are a well-established charitable organisation providing a range of
counselling and training services to secure the delivery and development of high
quality professional counselling and counselling associated training in
Gloucestershire and the surrounding area. GCS first started in 1978 and became
registered as a charity in 1984 with the aim to provide high quality, affordable
counselling to the communities of Gloucestershire. At this time there was little
provision of this nature outside of London, the small group of therapy
professionals grew the service and later launched the training of counsellors so
as to ensure an ongoing supply of professionally trained counsellors to the
county. GCS was founded to provide access to affordable counselling and training
for all members of society within the county, regardless of background or
circumstances. We recognise that discrimination operates consciously and
unconsciously in our society, which means some people have greater access to
opportunities than others. Please see the following link for the full GCS
Equality Statement Our core belief is that all people are treated with dignity
and respect and we are creating an organisation where inequalities are
challenged and we anticipate and respond positively to different needs and
circumstances. Here at GCS our mission is to improve the quality of life for the
communities of Gloucestershire through Counselling and Counselling Skills
Training. Our long term goal is to maintain our reputation for delivering a high
quality and effective service, meeting local needs and to be the first choice
for Counselling and Training Services in Gloucestershire and its surrounding
areas.
