Our Coronavirus Measures

Due to the spread of COVID-19 we have made certain changes in the running of Ongoing Support and face-to-face appointments. The prevention of catching or spreading the coronavirus is high on our priority list. We will provide a clean and safe environment for any of you that still wish to do face-to-face therapy. For those that are uncomfortable coming in even with our assurances we are able to offer online sessions.

Please do not come in if you feel unwell

In order to keep our premises safe for others it is essential that you do not come in for a face-to-face appointment. We can simply meet online through zoom meetings, skype, or facetime, and payments can be processed through mobile phone links, or through email.
