Counselling Services
Our Counsellors
Many of our counsellors are trained in more than one of the many issues people may encounter. So unlike a lot of other counselling services where you may only be able to receive help for one issue, we can deal with a multitude of issues.
ACCESSING OUR SERVICES
Free Counselling Service
Our free service continues to be via GP referral only. Once a referral is received a client will be assessed within 2 weeks and put onto our waiting list.
Paid Counselling Service
Platform 1 has always believed that counselling should be free at point of access. However as funding has become a continuous battle for all charities our counsellors have come to our aid.
Our qualified counsellors have now offered their skills and time to work with paying clients in order to support funding for Platform 1 and to supplement the cost of offering our free counselling service. As expected our waiting list for this service will be shorter.
Referral can be via self-referral where an assessment will be completed and an appointment arranged.
