The Valley Trust is a non-profit-making, registered charity and has been providing a counselling service in Surrey since 1985. It was formed to support parents and children who have experienced family break-up through divorce or separation. Surrey has the “distinction” of having the highest divorce rate in Europe with over 6000 children affected.

The provision of counselling in schools became an inevitable way forward, and the first counselling projects proved so successful that counselling services have become an integral part of the schools’ own pastoral care.

The service developed to offer counselling in schools across Surrey, whilst maintaining the service to adults and young people outside the school environment.

The Valley Trust counsellors are fully qualified and highly experienced. They have regular support, supervision and training to ensure best practice and professional development.
The counsellors work for the Valley Trust as self-employed contractors.
