Who We Are

The Vision of St Andrews Leckie is to be a place of Restoration.  As part of this, we are providing the Community with a Professional Counselling Service.  All of our counsellors are members of COSCA, and have completed or are near completion of a Diploma in Counselling (or similar).  Our Counsellors and reception staff are of Christian faith but our service is open to all faiths and none.

Cost

St Andrews Leckie have subsidised this Counselling service as part of their commitment to the local community.

We do encourage donations to help cover the costs of running the service, an amount would be agreed at the initial meeting per session. We will work with those who cannot donate.

“I find Counselling has helped me by having the listening ear of someone caring, and very supportive. They are helping me to look at the situation and understand it better. Soul Restore is an oasis in the desert, at a time when one is overwhelmed by thirst. It provides a safe place to rebalance and ‘Restore’ one’s inner spirit.”

Our Team

Janice Pace

Counsellor at Soul Restore

I feel God has been leading me to His purpose over the last few years, and it is in partnering with Him that Soul Restore Counselling is now here serving the community of Peebles with professional Counselling, and a team of Volunteers. We can offer a place to lament, discover, build relationship, uncover purpose, and Who we genuinely are. Working alongside people in their pain, loss, or discovery is a privilege and Jesus feels close by, whether others call Him that or not. We walk in the Client’s world and their agenda and values. At a time when mental health and resilience are particularly needing to be spoken of, this Counselling service seems to meets those needs

Outcome – Young people who feel nurtured, encouraged and loved by God and the church and able to respond to God’s call on their life

Purpose: It is a joy to be part of the Soul restore team. We are drawing on our professional counselling training whilst leaning on the love and grace of God as we work with clients who are suffering. To be offering much needed mental health services in an accessible way under the banner of church feels to me a very practical demonstration of God’s love for all people.

Outcome: People experience loving, empathic and professional counselling where they can find hope and light in their dark times.
