There are rail strikes planned for June, which may affect your journey to our hospital and community centres. If you or your child has an appointment booked, please do all you can to attend. Plan your journey ahead and allow extra time.

You will also be provided with written information about the counselling process and confidentiality.

Counselling sessions usually last 50 minutes for one-to-one sessions and an hour for a couple.

You'll be asked if you would like to make another appointment, which is usually booked during the session.

After your appointment

We usually book follow-up appointments with you during your counselling session – a regular date and time will be agreed if appropriate.

If you experience any problems with your appointments, please contact your counsellor by telephone or email.
