Empowering people since 1904

Looking for counselling? We've been working in the local communities of Essex and East London for over a century. We're experts in providing a safe space, amplifying voices and supporting people to grow and develop.

Renew offers low-cost, and sometimes funded, professional counselling to the community and surrounding areas. We strive to offer a service that rivals an expensive private practice, but at an affordable price.

We're proud to run a multi-layered, high-quality and far-reaching service, supported by a group of dedicated professionals that specialise in everything from counselling adults, young people and children to delivering training and supervision.

Whether you're coming to Renew for counselling, to study on one of our courses or for supervision, our offer is all about empowering you. We're passionate about giving you a safe space to do the work and a voice to make yourself heard, but ultimately our goal is to enable you to build on your own strengths as you grow and develop.

Recognised as a centre of excellence by those in the sector, Renew's services are delivered by a team of dedicated counsellors with a wealth of experience.

We are proud to be accredited by the BACP and abide by their code of ethics.

We have centres in Basildon and Chelmsford and work in schools across Essex and East London.
