Counselling and Psychotherapy

A Safe Place to Talk

Compass, based in Lymington, is a registered charity serving the New Forest and adjacent areas, including the Isle of Wight.

From our purpose-built premises in Lymington, we aim to provide a high quality professional counselling and psychotherapy service at an affordable price.

Disability Access

All our counselling rooms are on the first floor of Compass House.  If you are unable to climb stairs we will arrange for your counselling to be offered at another suitable venue. 

Helping Compass - the Bursary Fund

Because we are a charity, we are always in need of funds to help us continue our vital work with clients who are unable to meet the full cost of our service.  For this purpose we have established a bursary fund and welcome donations to this good cause. If you would like to make a donation, please contact The Administrator, Compass Counselling Service, Compass House, 50 Gosport Street, Lymington, Hampshire, SO41 9BB
