Initial assessment for counselling

The initial consultation or assessment provides you with the opportunity to meet face-to-face with one of our highly trained clinical assessors so you can find out more about what counselling involves and to talk about what’s troubling you. 

During this initial consultation, the counsellor will explain more about the service and take the time to assess what sort of counselling will best benefit you, and whether you need short term or long term support. 

After this initial assessment, you can then decide whether or not you would like to attend regular individual counselling sessions.  You’ll also be matched to most appropriate counsellor to meet your needs.
