One-to-one support

Sometimes you need someone on your side – someone who can help you work through what’s going on and find a way forward. We offer different types of support depending on what you need – some you can access yourself, others need a referral.

Referral needed

With a referral from a professional

Not sure how to get a referral? Your GP is usually the best starting point. Tell them what you’re struggling with and ask whether any of these services might help.
