About Us

We provide a safe, confidential space that supports emotional wellbeing, understanding, and personal growth.

A Safe and Respectful Space for Counselling

At Sesame Counselling Service Newport, we believe counselling should feel safe, respectful, and centred around you. We provide confidential counselling for individuals aged 16 and over, offering face-to-face sessions in Newport as well as telephone and online counselling across the UK. Our aim is to create a space where people can speak openly without judgement, explore their thoughts and feelings, and feel genuinely heard.


We understand that reaching out for counselling can feel daunting, which is why we strive to make the process calm, welcoming, and professional from the very first contact. As a donation-based charity, we operate with suggested donations between £15 and £25 per session, helping us continue providing accessible emotional wellbeing support.


While we are proudly based in Newport, our UK-wide counselling services allow us to support individuals wherever they are. Building trust and emotional safety is central to every session, as a strong therapeutic relationship forms the foundation of effective counselling and long-term emotional wellbeing.
