What to expect following referral

You will be offered an initial assessment appointment with one of our qualified and experienced counsellors. The assessment can be attended as an individual, a couple or a parent/carer accompanying a younger child. This will offer the chance to see if counselling feels right for you and to ask any questions you might have. If you choose to engage in counselling you will be offered 12 sessions.

Counselling sessions last for up to one hour. A therapeutic contract will be established between you and your counsellor, outlining expectations of the counselling process and regularity of sessions. We offer counselling sessions at our counselling centres, community hubs, on the online platform, Zoom, and also by telephone.
