In order to assess whether or not phone counselling might work for you, we begin by having an initial conversation with a counsellor over the phone. This is in confidence.
Sometimes telephone counselling is not be the most appropriate source of support, either because of individual circumstances or to address issues particular issues. If this is the case the counsellor would discuss other options with you, may be able to suggest alternative services or to help you access further support for yourself.
