Two choices, then a few practical questions. Nothing is booked
from this page, and you can change your mind at any point.

Before anything else
Is anyone in this situation unsafe right now?
Including thoughts of harming yourself or someone else.
Please do this first
Then this form is the wrong place, and that is not a failure.
Saying so takes something. What you need now is someone who can answer
immediately, and we cannot: nothing sent here gets read quickly enough.

I am looking for support for
someone
and what is on my mind is
not sure yet.
What that usually means here
Register your interest
Groups run when there are enough people for one. Leave a name and a number
and we will tell you when the next round opens. That is all it does, and it is
not a booking.
Consultancy, training and supervision are scoped rather than booked. What you
need, who it is for, how long it runs and what it costs all depend on the
conversation, so there is no point putting you through a clinical intake.
Email us a line about what you are after and we will come back to you.
Most places treat the first appointment as the start of a course. We offer it
as a whole piece of work: one longer conversation, and a written formulation
afterwards that is yours to keep and to hand to anyone else involved.
Plenty of people take that and stop there. Some come back later. Some move
into ongoing work. All three are ordinary outcomes, not degrees of success.
Single Session Family Therapy is an established, evidence-based
model, not a shortened version of longer work. Portia is trained in it.
Not sure on any of these? Leave them as they are and we will
work it out together.
How we reach you
Just enough to come back to you.
A name and one way to reach you is all we need. Everything else
is yours to give or keep.
A few more details
All optional here, and all asked again before a first session.
Filling them in now just saves a step. We ask for an address because if someone
becomes unsafe during a session we need to know where you are.
We need a name and either a phone number or an email address.
Would you rather not do this online? Leave a name and one way to reach
you and we will call you within two business days and go through it together.
Nothing else needed.
