Achor Pregnancy Counselling Centre
Achor Pregnancy Counselling Centre opened in Woking town
centre in October 2003 to help those facing an unexpected pregnancy.
It is a registered charity known as Achor Trust.
We seek to offer a caring, compassionate, non-judgemental counselling service,
without pressure or bias, to all women in a ‘pregnancy crisis’, that will
enable them to make an informed choice concerning their pregnancy and to
support and counsel women suffering from emotional trauma or other
difficulties following abortion or miscarriage.
The centre aims to help clients see beyond
the immediacy of the crisis they are facing. The service is offered
free to all women regardless of age, religion, ethnic background or
marital status. We aim to make provision for minority groups and
home visits are offered where possible to those with physical disability.
Our Aim
- To see women and their partners provided with accurate information, time and support so that they can make informed decisions after exploring the options available, and to understand the possible physical and emotional consequences of continuing the pregnancy, choosing adoption or having an abortion.
- To offer practical help & support to clients.
- To liaise with other local services to help clients access all the help that they might need.
- To offer counselling to those women who are suffering from emotional trauma following a termination of pregnancy or miscarriage.
