About Cork Counselling Services

Founded in the early 1980s, Cork Counselling Services (CCS) was one of the first centres in Ireland to offer professional counselling to the community regardless of financial means, religious beliefs, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or educational background. From the start, our mission has been to make high-quality, compassionate counselling accessible to everyone.

Today, CCS is a social enterprise that combines clinical excellence with education. Alongside our counselling services, we train the next generation of counsellors through our BSc (Hons) Counselling and Psychotherapy degree. This programme is accredited by the Irish Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (IACP)—Ireland’s leading professional body—and validated by Coventry University, strengthening our international connections.

Our team is made up of diverse, highly qualified professionals, including counsellors, psychotherapists, and psychologists. All staff are either accredited by the IACP or IAHIP (Irish Association of Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapy), registered with the PSI (Psychological Society of Ireland), or working towards accreditation. Every counsellor and psychotherapist at CCS works within recognized codes of ethics and the highest professional standards.

For qualified professionals, we also offer supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, and supervisors, supporting ongoing professional growth.
