How the service works
You need to make an appointment for our Counselling Service, but you don’t need a referral. We try and see people as soon as possible, but sometimes you may have to wait for an appointment. If your situation is urgent, let the secretary know this when you ring.
We charge a fee for counselling on a sliding scale in line with your income. Special arrangements can be made if you have financial difficulties.
