During the lockdown due to COVID-19, we have been offering online appointments and have found that many of our clients who are not used to working in this way have been pleasantly surprised by how helpful therapy delivered by video chat can be. Don’t feel you have to wait for the lockdown to be over to contact us as video has been shown to be an effective way of delivering therapy.
Referrals
Both face-to-face and online sessions are available. To help put you in touch with the right person we offer a free 15 minute consultation by phone or video chat with a therapist.
To make an appointment or discuss a referral please contact us.
