The Harbour charity has been providing specialist counselling to help thousands of people in Bristol to live well with grief since 1992. They provide a safe space to talk and be listened to for those facing their own death, or the death of a loved one, or when they have been bereaved.

For many people, support from loved ones will be enough to help them through their grief. But for others it is not. Through counselling, people can confront their most uncomfortable emotions about death, dying and bereavement…feelings that can be difficult to share with family and friends.

The Harbour offers counselling to individuals, couples and groups. Last year 100% of clients rated their relationship with their therapist as ‘excellent’ or ‘good’.

They support almost 200 people every year, with 90% accessing their service free of charge or heavily subsidised. More than 80% of clients reported reduced feelings of anxiety and depression and improved emotional well-being following a course of counselling with The Harbour.

The Harbour is working with Knowle West Health Park to ensure their service is more easily accessible to those living in the south of the city. Sessions are also available from their central location on Frogmore Street, in the city centre.
