About The Service
Origins and Structure
TCS was founded in 1983 in response to a need for a counselling service in Tenterden and surrounding villages. The responsibility for the organisation rests with a group of Trustees. These Trustees, together with advisors from the community, are the managers. It is a non-profit-making charity with no political or religious affiliation.
Objectives
The service seeks to promote personal growth towards psychological and emotional health. It offers a professional service with trained counsellors whose work is professionally supervised.
TCS is committed to equal opportunities and welcomes everyone without discrimination as to class, culture, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, physical ability, race or religion.
Confidentiality
As an Organisational Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, TCS is bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and is subject to the BACP Professional Conduct Procedure.
All personal information disclosed to a counsellor is confidential to TCS. No information will be disclosed to a third party without prior consultation with the client concerned. All of our counsellors have undertaken thorough training and are committed to continue in-service training.
