I want to ask for Counselling - what do I need to do?
Normally, an individual can phone or text the Spring to Life Office phone on 07856 277028, Mon - Fri 10.00 - 4.00, or email via the website or info@springtolife.org to discuss their needs in confidence.
Our current waiting times are around 3 to 4 months.Alternatively, please contact Living Well Consortium tel 0121 663 1217 or email
info@livingwellconsortium.com
Please note we cannot provide emergency care for people in immediate crisis. Please use 111, 999, your local GP or Samaritans on 116 123 for help in those circumstances.When you phone, you will be asked to provide some details about yourself and briefly what issues you are facing that counselling could help you with. These will be passed on confidentially to our NHS counselling team, one of whom will contact you to do an asessment to see if you are eligible for free NHS Talking Therapy. If not, they will advise you of other help available.
The NHS scheme requires the client to be living in the Birmingham or Solihull area, and to be registered with a GP practice in Birmingham or Solihull. Their NHS number will be required.
If you email, again a counsellor will contact you to go through the procedure as above.
Normally we need to speak to the client themselves to arrange counselling - this is called a self-referral. If you want to ask for help for a relative or patient, please encourage them to contact us themselves, or get in touch and discuss the situation with us.
At times we are very busy, so there may be a delay of several weeks between the initial referral and beginning therapy. We work face to face in a limited number of GP practices, and also provide video call counselling.
Normally we see clients once a week for 5 or 6 weeks, depending on the diagnosis.
