What is an Assessment?

An Assessment is a one to one session with a member of the counselling team who will listen to your needs and explore whether Counselling or another service is suitable for your needs. The Assessment takes place online or over the phone and can last up to one hour.

On completion of your Assessment you will be allocated a counsellor who begin work with you for as long as you need it.
