• Your first visit

  When you contact the service, you'll be asked to complete a New Client Enquiry form that helps the team understand your child's specific needs and create a plan for the next steps. Once the form is received, the service will allocate you to a clinician and organise an initial consultation when an appointment becomes available. The form contains important information about the services and support offered, and helps determine whether your child would benefit from counselling support or assessment depending on your referral query. This initial process ensures that your child's needs are properly understood before the first appointment.
