“The Rank Foundation remains a strong supporter of the Counselling and Pastoral Trust (CPT). I first visited CPT in 2007 and was struck by the dedication, compassion and professionalism of Dr Agnes Sullivan and the CPT team. The breadth and scope of their work has continued to grow, providing valuable support for those traumatised by abuse, breakdown or neglect. This is an impressive well run operation: I commend it highly.”

DAVID SANDERSON MBE DL – CEO, The Rank Foundation

“Dr Agnes Sullivan had the compassion to spot that my stiff upper lip, concealed I was drowning in an ocean of grief. My ‘issues’ were real and my grief fully justified – it’s just that no one had ever told me that, or more to the point, helped me get to the bottom of it. Healing is possible. I never believed it. This is a whole package of intellectual, behavioural, emotional and spiritual involvement. It is kind, intelligent and real. I’m now 56. I wish I’d known about it sooner. I’ve had a needlessly hard life simply through lack of knowing. No one need suffer alone as I did. I beg you to do everything you possibly can to support the humanity of this place. Thousands could benefit.”

“It has been an enormous help to me as a family doctor to have discovered and used the Counselling Pastoral Trust. In my experience they have been highly skilled and professional in dealing with the personality and relationship problems I have referred, with the bonus of a Christian ethos underpinning their work”.
