Sometimes we may need to postpone or decline a referral, such as if a woman: 

• Has a current substance use issue, severe eating disorder or severe mental health diagnosis (If you have a mental health diagnosis such as EUPD, schizophrenia, PTSD, from a consultant or psychiatrist – please include this on the referral form). 

• Is seeking counselling for a court case or is court-mandated for therapy 

• Is currently living with a perpetrator of domestic or sexual abuse 

• Is attending therapy to obtain letters for things like PIP applications or other state benefits. Therapists cannot provide support letters except for confirming a client was in therapy and the related dates of the therapy   

• Has not fully completed the referral form. Please try to complete every section, as this information helps us understand your needs, ensure your safety, and match you with the right counsellor.
