April 2022 Covid Update
I will be continuing with in-person, telephone and video appointments, whatever’s your preference.
Thinking about counselling? Book your free, no obligation, initial consultation to see if it’s for you.
Your safety
Our key concern, here at Counselling West Bridgford, is your psychological and physical safety, which is why we ensure we are Covid Secure when clients attend for in-person appointments.
We have carried out a thorough risk assessment, in line with government and UKCP guidelines, to ensure our counselling space is Covid-secure.
We are lucky that our counselling room has plenty of room for us to physically distance, and remains a lovely place to be.
I wanted to share with you the measures in place, including a few things we need you to do please.
If you or I/we have to cancel because of a Covid-19 issue, please be re-assured that you will be refunded, or payment transferred to a future appointment (whichever you prefer)
The key measures
The detailed measures are detailed later on this page, although the key ones are:
Please DO NOT COME if:
- You have tested positive for Covid-19
- You have symptoms of Covid-19
- You have cough / cold symptoms
Please DO:
- Ring me if you’re struggling to find me: 07968767232
- If you are driving, park in a space at the back of the building, if you’re on the bus, there is a bus stop directly opposite the building
- At your appointment time please come to the front door, ring the bell and I’ll head down to collect you

The detailed measures
Please do NOT come if:
