About
What happens at Oasis
Oasis is open to the public. Our caring volunteers offer counselling and addiction support, and arrange mentoring and befriending as needed. Art therapy runs as occasional events. The drop-in (Mondays, 11am to 1pm) is a chance to have a cup of tea, meet new people and get out of the house.
In 2024 our counsellors gave more than 2,000 hours of therapy to people across our community.
What we offer
Counselling
Counselling with our volunteer counsellors, by appointment, Monday to Thursday.
Addiction support
Oasis is the only local provider of SMART Recovery, a practical programme for people living with or recovering from addiction. It is led by a facilitator with lived experience of recovery, who understands what you’re going through.
Mentoring and befriending
Someone to walk alongside you, whether you need practical help finding your feet or simply a friendly face. Mentoring and befriending are arranged as needed, so get in touch to ask.
Art therapy events
Art therapy runs as occasional events rather than an ongoing service. It is a creative way to process difficult feelings, with no art skills needed. Keep an eye on our events page.
Drop-in
Mondays, 11am to 1pm. A social drop-in to meet new people and get out of the house, with a warm welcome and a cup of tea.
Women of Worth
A peer-led support group for survivors of domestic abuse. Get in touch to attend.
Who it’s for
Anyone who needs someone to talk to. People come to Oasis living with mental health challenges, addiction, loneliness and isolation, or after domestic abuse.
You don’t need a referral: contact us directly about counselling.

She has a vulnerable person in the centre currently and she encouraged them to contact yourselves. She said your staff have been so supportive and kind to them. She is blown away and so grateful for the help you provide.
Counselling has given me a safe space to talk openly about my feelings, both good and bad.

Counselling has given me a safe space to talk openly about my feelings, both good and bad. I always left my sessions feeling much better within myself and with a brighter hope for the future. My overall anxiety and panic episodes are now far less frequent, and my mood feels much lighter and more positive.
