Free Person-Centred Counselling
Sometimes, just having someone to really listen can make all the difference.
At Family Friends we offer free Person-Centred Counselling to individuals and families in the Wrexham area. This type of counselling focuses entirely on you — your experiences, feelings, and what matters most to you.
Person-centred counselling is a gentle, non-judgemental approach that helps you explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. It’s not about giving advice or telling you what to do — it’s about creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel truly heard and understood.
Delivered by Compassionate Student Counsellors
Our counselling service is provided by carefully selected student counsellors who are currently training and working under professional supervision. They bring empathy, dedication, and fresh perspectives, and are fully committed to supporting you with professionalism and care.
What Person-Centred Counselling Can Help With:
- Low mood or anxiety
- Stress and burnout
- Family or relationship difficulties
- Loss, grief, or life changes
- Building self-esteem and confidence
- Feeling stuck or overwhelmed
Who Can Access It?
This service is completely free and available to anyone in the Wrexham area. You can ask a professional to refer you to us or reach out directly.

Our qualified therapists provide a safe, confidential space to explore what’s on your mind and support you step-by-step.

Free EMDR Therapy
Helping you heal from trauma and distress — safely and effectively.
At Family Friends, we offer free EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy to individuals in the Wrexham area who are struggling with the effects of trauma, anxiety, or distressing life experiences.
EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help the brain process and release traumatic memories that may be causing emotional or psychological difficulties. It’s particularly helpful for people who have experienced trauma, PTSD, or events that continue to affect their daily life.
Rather than talking in detail about the trauma, EMDR works by using gentle, guided eye movements (or other forms of bilateral stimulation) while you focus on specific memories — helping your brain reprocess them in a safe and supported way.
What EMDR Can Help With:
- Past trauma or abuse
- PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
- Anxiety and panic
- Flashbacks or nightmares
- Grief or loss
- Distressing memories that feel “stuck”
A Safe and Professional Space
Our EMDR service is delivered by trained therapists who provide a calm, supportive environment where your healing is the priority. Sessions are tailored to your pace and comfort level.
Who Can Access It?
This service is completely free and available to adults and families, you can ask a professional to refer you or reach out to us directly.
