Addiction support & pastoral counselling


Addiction Support

Our sister church, Hope Church Trent Vale, runs an addiction group and community detox programme. The groups meets every Wednesday at Park Church. Find out more here. 

Pastoral Counselling

We have a pastoral counselling service which we offer to people with links to our church. As we are Christians, we will always counsel people from that perspective, but you don’t need to be a Christian to ask for help.

The issues are as varied as people are and can include: depression, anxiety, couples therapy, pre-marriage counselling, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, anger, low self-worth, co-dependency, grief, loss, people pleasing, emotional/psychological abuse and child abuse.
