COMPASS is a registered charity and one of the few independent providers of counselling for people aged over eighteen in Merseyside. Established in 1978, COMPASS has a reputation for the highest quality counselling provision and teaching programmes and a longstanding tradition of serving the community.
Going to see a counsellor for the first time can often feel daunting. You probably feel hesitant about sharing personal information with a complete stranger. We fully understand this and as such all of our counsellors are trained to listen to you. They do not give advice or pass judgement.
Voluntary work, Volunteering ... if this is what you're looking for, you've come to the right place. Volunteer Today!

Over a million adults of all ages, social backgrounds and walks of life become trustees. Many people become involved in the running of a charity and thus become a charity trustee. Trustees are a valuable asset for a charity because they bring an outside viewpoint to the charity preventing a trustee body from becoming too inward-looking.If you are interested in becoming a COMPASS trustee please contact :
