The majority of young people are happy to self refer to us, and recommend us to their friends.  We also work closely with other voluntary agencies and compliment the work of health care practioners, social workers, teachers and youth workers.  As appropriate, Health Practioners and other professionals can formally refer young people to us - usually those who will benefit from longer term support or who need faster access to our service via a written referral.

• Our team of 'referral counsellors' have at least two years voluntary counselling experience within the service.
• All referrals must be made in writing (to the address below) giving a brief outline of your concerns and any issues the young person may be experiencing
• Also include contact details, phone number, address and date of birth of the young person to enable us to follow up the referral process
• Please inform and involve the young person as you make this referral to help empower them and engage them in the therapeutic process 
• All clients referred to our service will go on a short waiting list and will be notified as soon as an appointment becomes available
• We will aim to 'fast track' those clients needing urgent support
• Your client will be contacted each week so they know we have not forgotten them and to see if we can offer any help whilst waiting for an appointment

Please mark your envelope "Referral" and send to:
