SAFETY INFORMATION - COVID-19

By booking a face to face appointment you are agreeing to the following COVID-19 safety and booking information.  Due to the ongoing pandemic, there have been changes implemented within my counselling space to ensure a safe environment for everyone.  I have had both of my vaccinations and the booster.

I’m looking forward to offering face to face support, whilst also keeping you safe.
