Facts about phone counselling…
- The phones are open 7 days a week, from 8am-10pm
- It’s private and confidential. See our Privacy page for more information
- Your counsellor will ask you what you want to talk about and ask you some questions to help understand what’s going on for you
- You can choose the gender of the counsellor you speak to
- When our phone lines get busy, sometimes we will need to put you on hold until a counsellor is available or a counsellor can call you back
- The counsellor you speak to may tell you their name, so if you call again, you can ask to speak to the same person
