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.
