YES Counselling Book Suspension | Until 1st February 2024
We currently have 150 young people on our counselling waiting list and for this reason we have made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend our referral system. This means we will not be taking any new referrals until the end of January 2024. Please email or ring us from 1st February if you would like to use our counselling service.
