We offer many types of counselling

Counselling sessions are mainly undertaken face to face, but may, on request, also be offered remotely. At Connect, we believe that everyone should have access to counselling without the burden of a fixed charge. The number of sessions as such is not limited and there is no fixed fee – our ethos is to help anybody, irrespective of their financial means for a long as they require our services!
