- Referral information
You will be seen within four weeks of us receiving the referral from your GP, school or social worker. During the initial consultation we will assess your needs, find out more about what’s brought you to us and think of ways we or our partner agencies can support you.
At the end of our assessment, we will agree a treatment plan with you, which is regularly reviewed. Once you are allocated to a specific clinician on our team, you will agree and review some goals you wish to achieve and that help us focus our work with you. There is some waiting time involved, but we will do our best to support you in the meantime.
