All
clients have an initial assessment where a decision is made on what
the most appropriate treatment is for them. You will be given an opportunity
to talk about your difficulties, and you will also find out more about
the service.
If you would benefit from further counsel ling, we will arrange for you to see a counselor on a regular basis. There is normally a waiting list. How long you have to wait will depend on your needs and availability. We can help you deal with any problems that are causing emotional distress. Many counselors have specialist skills in areas including: Anxiety, Bereavement, Family issues, Relationships and Sexual abuse. We will make every effort to place you with a counselor who is best equipped to deal with your problem.
The Cost: Many people are concerned about the cost involved in counseling,
but you will only be asked to make a contribution towards administration
costs.
