What does counselling with Brighter Mindset look like?
Counselling (sometimes called Talking Therapy) is a way of helping people that focuses on the person, not just their problems.
- You will complete our referral form and our Lead Counsellor gets back to you within 48 hours.
- Once we have your availability and preferences we will start looking for a counsellor to match your requirements.
- Once matched, the counsellor will reach out to you to arrange a 10 minute introduction call.
- During the introduction call the counsellor will confirm your details and arrange the date of your first counselling session
- They will then send you a contract to complete before your first session.
Counselling is your confidential space to discuss everything which affects you. It is a safe space dedicated to you.
