  • Clinical assessment and counselling by qualified nurse and counsellor
  • Safe and supportive

Counselling

Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays 9am to 3:30pm

With Nola

 

Our counselling service enables women to seek solutions in an understanding and supportive environment. The service provides women with short term support.

This service is available by appointment only. We ask that if you are unable to make your appointment that you give us 24 hours’ notice.

 

Appointment times

Our qualified counsellor is available for appointments on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and alternate Thursday afternoons.

To make an appointment just phone our friendly reception staff.

 

This is not a crisis centre and therefore we do not offer a 24 hour service.
