Other support available in and around Wakefield.

​

Sometimes it can help to know that there are other sources of support available locally as well. I've listed organisations that as far as I'm aware are free of charge. Please understand that I am not responsible for them or connected to them.

I'm sharing in case they are helpful & 1:1 private counselling is beyond your budget.

​

I'm not much of a businesswoman directing potential clients to other services - what matters most to me is you feeling better however that happens.

If you still want to talk, get in touch, I'm here.
