COVID-19 Support

COVID-19 Support

These are very stressful times for a lot of people and we recognise the importance of doing as much as possible to ensure our mental health and well-being remain in good shape.

We are working hard to keep the centre a safe place to come to and to make sure that we are able to provide the support that we know people need at this time. We have carried out a detailed risk assessment and put in place very thorough procedures to make sure that the centre complies with the Scottish Government guidelines and with the guidelines of the professional bodies of our therapists.

Most of our therapists offer face-to-face counselling or consultations and many also offer sessions by phone or online via for example, Skype, WhatsApp, FaceTime and Zoom.
