What we do
Cedar House offers counselling for a wide range of issues, for example: anxiety, depression, self-confidence, relationship issues, divorce, abuse, bereavement, disability, redundancy, stress and pregnancy related issues, among others.
We are located in the heart of Preston on Chapel Street, adjacent to Winkley Square. Our services are open to anyone over the age of 18. As a registered charity, we have been providing accessible counselling in the Preston area since 1998. We were recently awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, equivalent to an MBE for individuals, in recognition of our professional level of service.
As a Christian charity, our faith is at the heart of our work. Read our Statement of Faith to understand what we believe.

Our Team
Our volunteer counsellors are qualified and experienced. We also provide training placements to approved students from local Universities and Colleges. We have male and female counsellors and you may state your preference, if that is important to you.
Online Counselling
While most of our counselling is done in person, we do offer counselling and assessments by phone or video call. Please contact us for further details.
Networks
Cedar House has strong relationships with a number of other agencies in our city, including the NHS, churches, colleges and universities, the council and our local MPs.
Donations
There are costs involved in running our centre and without donations from clients, local churches and individual supporters we could not survive. We encourage contributions to counselling expenses, however; we don’t want finances to prevent anyone getting the help they need. We are always open to discussing financial concerns. You can make an online donation by clicking here.
