Counselling appointments
Clients are normally seen at Bromham Baptist Church by appointment,
which can be arranged either by telephone or in person at Bromham
Baptist Church (see contact details below).
An initial assessment interview is arranged with the counselling
co-ordinator to discuss the requirements of each person. Clients may be
referred to other agencies if this is considered in their best
interests.
A counselling contract is made initially for six sessions, at which time
a review is made and additional sessions arranged if appropriate.
Sessions last for approximately one hour.
All counsellors are supervised by an independent supervisor and are
accountable to the leadership of Bromham Baptist Church.
A registration fee of £10 is required. Donations are welcome
towards administration costs.
