I've been using Mental Health services since 2009

How it works for me

1. Attend Session
2. Pay for Session

Things that can go wrong

1. Attending a Session
2. Paying for a Session

Attending a Session

Sessions are at the same time, same day every week. This is good as it sets up an important routine. 

However: Sometimes you can't make it, so you have to cancel. There is no flexibility.

Cancelling a Session

MUST USE THE TELEPHONE

Mostly, this okay and a quick solution

BUT: Telephone conversations can be a huge source of anxiety

ALSO: Sometimes people don't pick up

CANCELLING A SESSION

EMAIL EXISTS BUT UNUSED

this email address isn't checked that regularly, so the best way to contact us is by phone

PAYING FOR A SESSION

CASH IN HAND

Quite simply, I'm forgetful

There aren't any convenient cash points on my journey to the centre
