We are committed to ensuring our counselling service is meeting the needs of the people who use it. Would you be happy for MESMAC to contact you when your counselling has finished (or when you end your counselling) for your feedback?

You will receive an automatic message telling you that we have received your request for counselling.

If our service is not appropriate for you, we will try and let you know within two weeks of receiving your request – with some signposting options if available and relevant.

If our service is appropriate for you, we will attempt to match you with a counsellor within two weeks of receiving your request. You will then negotiate your first session with the counsellor.
