Why do we spell Referals like this?

Because coming to counselling is voluntary and confidential it is our preference for prospective clients to book in for appointments themselves. Try to encourage a prospective client to give us a call. However there may be instances where this is not possible.

Examples might include:

  • If you are an academic and concerned about the mental health of a student in your class or the impact of a student's behaviour on other students;
  • If you are a student and are concerned for the safety of another student;
  • There may be other possibilities that you would like to discuss but are uncertain about.

In this case please ring the Counselling Service and ask to speak to the Head of Counselling. They will discuss the most appropriate mode of referral with you and will ask for the contact details of the person. A counsellor will then contact the person in question and invite them to attend an appointment.
