The service is very informal and you can use it as and when
you feel you need it; you don’t need to be referred by anyone,
just turn up when we are open. Our building is two semi-
detached houses knocked through inside and has several
different rooms/areas - including a conservatory, garden and
TV room - as well as the two main lounge areas and separate
rooms for one to one support.
You can chat and socialise with other people, have some time
with a support worker, have a one to one private session with
a qualified counsellor, or just find yourself a quiet space
where you can be around people if you don’t want to be
alone.
There are two workers available, including at least one
counsellor, to provide support as well as guidance on how you
can get further help including accessing services such as
advocacy to help with accessing services, housing problems,
benefits claims, debt and financial advice, counselling,
employment support and advice plus other social and leisure
activities.
We can also assist in getting further help from your GP, NHS
mental health services, and Social Services; and if you decide
that you need emergency help, we can arrange this too.
