Immediate Support

"I've been a mental health nurse for 20 years now and know something of the pitfalls of psychotherapy. So does Clare. I've rarely met anyone with such a realistic grasp of the nature and importance of this line of work and such a drive to avoid the fashionable nonsense that so often attends it."

Many people believe that they must have therapy as soon as they decide to seek help but most counsellors can't offer an immediate appointment. Although you can feel desperate to begin therapy you've waited some time already, so take a little more time to see the therapist who's right for you.
