Pathways to Hope

Pathways to Hope is a service designed to support trauma survivors build resilience and heal from trauma. Our goal is to create a place where you feel heard and validated. A place which helps you to build confidence and move towards a point in your life where you feel in control of your trauma rather than the other way about.  

​ 

What does Pathways to Hope involve?

Pathways to Hope has been specially designed following The Atholl Approach and consists of two aspects that run together:​

​

• 24 sessions of one-to-one trauma-focused counselling 

• A programme of group wellbeing activities​ which you can book to fit around your other commitments 

​

The group wellbeing activities are an essential part of the service, often designed and led by previous clients who have chosen to undergo training with us in the design and delivery of trauma-informed workshops. The kinds of activities you will be offered range from upcycling furniture to learning how to fit self-care into busy lives. These activities will be focused on helping you identify future goals and build resilience and confidence.  We hope by the end of the sessions you will have a better insight into your interests, life goals and passions as well as having discovered new ways to manage your mental health.

In addition to this, when your counselling comes to an end, you also have the opportunity to undertake volunteering roles with us or engage in some of the training that we offer.

​

Pathways to Hope is delivered on a face-to-face basis at our hub in Perth and as part of the project, clients will be expected to attend both the group and counselling element. 

​

We strongly believe that people shouldn't have to jump through hoops to receive support which is why we have tried to make the referral process as simple as possible. Simply fill in our form, which should only take a few minutes, and our team will get in touch within a few weeks to offer you a 30 minute initial intake session to discuss the project with you further. 

​ 

The only criteria that needs to be met in order to be accepted to the service is that you must have experienced some form of trauma which has had a negative impact on your mental health, be over the age of 18 and live in Scotland.
