What can I Expect when I contact you?
When you contact us we will ask you a few questions to match you with a counsellor who is right for you, and go through what is called an initial intake assessment. The assessment is a broad conversation about areas of your life that you might be seeking support for from counselling, and any sources of strength you have currently.
We will then match you with an appropriate counsellor. We aim to do this within 48 hours but in peak times this might take longer.
The next person to get in touch will be your counsellor who will book the first appointment with you directly.
