Counselling Therapy in Melksham and Westbury Wiltshire, covering Bradford on Avon, Calne, Chippenham, Corsham, Devizes, Trowbridge, Warminster, Frome, Bath & North East Somerset
I currently have a very limited number of "face to face "appointments available and will only work with client's who bring their own sanitiser, face mask and visor that is worn throughout the session, this is under constant review, dependent on the current Government Guidelines. Strict Health and Safety measures are in place sanitising areas before and after client's have left the premises. I will continue to offer Telephone and Whatsapp video counselling, where I would ring the client, for those who are self isolating or prefer this option.
Social distancing and isolation does not mean you have to be alone. Take Care. Stay Safe.
