If you request face to face counselling
We may suggest that you come in for an ‘assessment’ session.

This is non-intrusive and is non-clinical. It is a way of meeting with you first to ensure the best possible service is offered to you. If this is not counselling then we will try to help you access a more appropriate service that meets your needs.


If you feel unable to contact TRCC directly
It is okay to ask someone else to do this on your behalf.


If you know a woman who wants to use the service
It is fine to contact TRCC on behalf of a woman as long as you have her permission to do this. It is vital that the woman makes her own choice.
