How to request counselling
If you are ready to make a referral, whether for yourself or someone else, please email us @ pnd@crossreach.org.uk and our team will contact you to go through the support we can offer and answer any questions.
Your Appointment
Appointments are usually weekly and last around 50 minutes. We will discuss the day, time and frequency of these sessions with you when we first meet.
We consider different types of support that might suit you, from one-to-one psychotherapy or couples counselling, to perinatal relaxation, art therapy and infant massage. We also offer Women’s Therapy Groups, Fathers’ Groups and Family Therapy, as we recognise that perinatal difficulties can affect the whole family.
Our donation-based and fixed-fee service
Our services are offered on a donation basis. At the start of your therapy, we will ask you if you can make a contribution towards your counselling. Ability to pay will never be a barrier to accessing support. For a donation client, the estimated waiting time for the initial assessment is around 4 – 6 weeks and the time to begin counselling will vary. We will keep in touch to let you know.
If you wish to be seen sooner, you can choose our Fixed Fee service, and one of our team will contact you within 5 – 7 working days to arrange an appointment. To find out more about this option please contact the team via email.
