EMPOWERING PEOPLE SINCE 1904

looking for support?

Renew provides professional, affordable counselling for children, young people and adults in Essex from our centres in Chelmsford, Basildon and Brentwood.

We strive to offer a service that rivals an expensive private practice, but at an affordable price. Many of the people we see would not be able to afford counselling without our service, and some of our services are funded.

With over 120 years of experience, we’re a trusted local charity. We tailor support to you, whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, life changes, relationship issues or anything in between.

Our counsellors are professionally trained and work to the highest ethical standards. We are a BACP-accredited counselling service, which means we meet nationally recognised standards and are professionally accountable.

If you live in or near Chelmsford, Basildon or Brentwood and are looking for counselling for you or your child, please do get in touch. Click the link below to learn more or book an assessment.
