However, there is a cost to the charity to provide counselling sessions. Because of this, we ask that you attend appointments regularly or let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel.
There is often a waiting list for counselling support and missed appointments can delay access for other people waiting to receive help.
This helps us make the best use of appointments and ensures support remains available for as many people as possible.
This can vary depending on individual needs and the support available.
Your counsellor will talk this through with you and regularly review how things are progressing.
