Community Chaplaincy Listening Service

The Community Chaplaincy Listening (CCL) service is available in GP surgeries and also by telephone where appropriate. It is not a counselling service, but instead offers a trained CCL listener to help you tell your story; understand your feelings and provide a safe space to explore a way forward for your own sense of health and wellbeing.
