Why not contact us to arrange an intro' session? We offer these either face to face at our centre (in person) or on the phone.
The intro' session is a chance to see if counselling is for you and to explore what is troubling you. At this session, you can decide if you want to sign up for ongoing regular counselling or not, the choice is yours.
We can usually offer these sessions quite quickly once you’ve called - simply call HYCS on 020 8568 1818 to book your appointment.
And remember - it's free and you don't need to be referred by a GP or an adult.
It’s natural to be a bit nervous when trying something new! Our friendly intro’ team understand that and will be very pleased to meet you.
