PF Counselling Service plays a vital role in Edinburgh's mental health and counselling ecosystems, by offering accessible counselling to adults who might otherwise be excluded due to cost or waiting times. Offering almost 14,000 counselling sessions a year by 110 volunteer counsellors, the charity demonstrates both scale and impact. Counselling at the PF is provided by a combination of volunteer counsellors in training with reputable training bodies and those who have completed their training qualifications. The PF is also supported by volunteer receptionists, a governance Board, and a small staff team. The service is available to individuals over the age of 18, and every client is invited to donate for sessions in accordance with our donation framework which sets the minimum donation at £20 to support the charity’s work. The PF is located in the Morningside area of Edinburgh.

Having gone through a period of transition, the PF is pleased to welcome a new CEO (appointed October 2025) to lead the strategic direction of the organisation, supported by the Board of Trustees. Alongside the rest of the Board, the Treasurer will play a pivotal role in steering and supporting the charity through growth, sustainability challenges (such as funding, waiting lists, volunteer capacity) and ensuring the service continues to meet its mission in a changing environment. With increasing mental health demands and third sector pressures, strong leadership at Board level can make a real difference.
