What will Happen when I call?

Well to start, most people tell us that things began to feel a little better as soon as they made the call

  • You'll be offered some information about our services
  • We will get your contact info and ask you a few questions, including your annual income (our fees are on a sliding scale) and what you hope to gain as a result of counselling.
  • A time will be set for your face-to-face Intake Interview. Please think about your schedule so you will be prepared to provide us with your availability.
  • You will be placed on our wait list and will be carefully matched with one of our volunteer counsellors as soon as we can do this. You may also be offered information about other support services that will help you on your journey.
