Booking an Appointment

To book an initial appointment or make an enquiry, please make contact either:

by telephone to 01895 256056 (please leave message on voice mail)
by writing to the address at the foot of this page
or by sending an email to ccsenquiry@btinternet.com

Please make sure your voicemail message, email or letter includes your name and contact telephone number and a counsellor will call you within 48 hours to discuss your needs and explain what the service can offer.

Where an agreement is reached that counselling may be helpful, a brief telephone assessment of your requirements will be conducted, with a view to arranging a meeting for you with a suitable counsellor.

In some cases, if this service is not appropriate, another agency may be recommended to you as a more suitable resource.

Note:

This email address is for initial enquiries only.
Subsequent sessions will be booked directly with your counsellor.
Disabled access is available with prior notice.
